<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The NSW Opposition Leader identifies with the Hawke-Keating model of economic reform</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Luke Foley stands on the stage at the Sydney Town Hall this morning and looks out to the 800-plus delegates attending the NSW Labor Party annual conference, history will be pulsating through his veins, but it is to the ­future that his mind will be sharply focused.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The venue makes it a grand occasion and you feel the history of what Labor has contributed to the state and the nation over 120-odd years,” Foley tells Inquirer. “I will think of the reforming NSW Labor governments led by Bill McKell, Neville Wran and Bob Carr that have made us one of the most prosperous, fair and tolerant societies anywhere in the world.” Foley’s address to the NSW Labor conference, the largest annual political gathering in the nation, will be his last as opposition leader. On March 23 next year, he expects to lead the party back to government. If Foley succeeds, he will join only Carr, Wran and McKell who have done that from opposition since 1941. If he fails, the party will look to a new leader.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is following in the tradition of moderate and conservative Labor leaders even though he has a left faction background. Foley is not a typically modern Labor leader. He has working-class roots, describes himself as socially conservative — he will not bring back the Safe Schools program and does not support voluntary euthanasia laws — and identifies with the model of government pioneered by Bob Hawke and Paul Keating .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an interview with Inquirer, Foley makes it clear he does not subscribe to class warfare or the politics of envy. He believes in opportunity, aspiration and reward for effort. He wants a co-operative relationship with business and expects the same with unions. And he promises to keep the budget in surplus across the economic cycle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It seems that Foley is following a different path to that of Bill Shorten, whose relationship with business is pois­onous — the federal Opposition Leader had pro­mised to repeal tax cuts for small and medium-sized enterprises, a policy on which he now has backflipped — and who is seen to be in thrall to militant unions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Foley’s approach is more in tune with last week’s provocative speech by federal Labor’s ­Anthony Albanese expressing fidelity with the Hawke-Keating tradition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Hawke and Keating governments delivered social wage outcomes that improved the lives of working people,” Foley says. “We can rebuild trades training, deliver the highest quality public schools and public hospitals, and improve public transport — all of these things I see as elements of the social wage responsibility of state governments. I want our union colleagues to be partners in improving those things.” But it may surprise that Foley wants unions to consider 1980s-style trade-offs, such as moderating wage claims, in return for government investment in health and education. “There will be give and take,” he says. “It may well be that ­unions moderate pay claims in return for much improved public health, education and transport systems. My appeal to them is that they work in a spirit of co-operation with us to deliver social and economic progress.” Unions have a raft of motions on the agenda at the Labor conference that seek to expand their power in workplaces as part of the nationwide “change the rules” campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Foley says workplace relations are predominantly a federal responsibility but he supports improving regulation of fran­chises, setting minimum employment standards for gig economy workers and criminalising wage theft. None of this should alarm business, Foley says, because it reflects government responding to workplace change. Labor in NSW wants “healthy” and “constructive” relations with business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He wants to work with employers on trades training. With an avalanche of road and rail projects under way in Sydney, he wants to reassure business that “the pipeline” of projects will continue but with “different priorities to the current government”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Foley has gained traction with his populist “schools and hospitals before stadiums” slogan in response to the NSW Coalition government’s plan to rebuild stadiums. Labor wants to turn demountable school buildings into bricks and mortar and have airconditioning all classrooms. He has promised to rebadge the Queen’s Birthday public holiday to “honour and celebrate” indigenous history and culture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it has not been all smooth sailing for Foley. Labor has been under fire for its connections to influential Chinese donors. Some on his frontbench privately complain about union influence in the party. Others say more should be done on policy. And there is concern about a rift between him and NSW Labor secretary Kaila Murnain that may hamper campaign preparations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Foley was criticised for comments about “white flight” from suburbs overrun with migrants. It came after he urged a rethink on the pace of immigration given the impact on roads, transport, hospitals and schools. He was criticised for it, but Labor’s research shows it resonated in suburban seats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than a dozen motions to the Labor conference oppose the party’s <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy. Many rank-and-file members don’t support offshore detention and processing, or <b>boat</b> turn-backs. Foley is not one of them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Australian people won’t accept an unregulated policy of open borders,” he says. “There just has to be a very strong deterrent to people-smugglers.” Foley’s key message to voters sizing him up against NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is that Labor is focused on “the issues that matter” most to them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has sharpened his attack lines and is doing more rapid-response media. These messages have been honed through an ­increased schedule of marginal seat visits.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked to name what he would do on day one as premier, Foley says he would meet NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to talk about policing and “community safety” issues, and guarantee his continued appointment. Next, he would begin work on “an unprecedented school building program” and kickstarting “trades training”. Other areas of immediate focus would be hospitals, child protection and environmental protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The state government’s coffers are flush with revenue because of power privatisation and a strong economy. Foley says nothing Labor does will jeopardise the state’s healthy finances, budget surplus or credit rating. He points to the Wran and Carr governments’ record of fiscal restraint and prudent economic management.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“A government led by me would be absolutely determined to govern in that tradition — there would be no adventurism,” Foley says. He says Labor will keep the budget in surplus across the economic cycle. But he will not commit to maintaining the 2.5 per cent annual cap on public sector wages.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Foley boasts about seeing off former premier Mike Baird , whose near-record popularity plummeted like a lead balloon, having misjudged a ban on greyhound racing and sparking anger over council mergers. “I was told he was unbeatable,” Foley says. “I like Mike but he is no greyhound — he stopped halfway through the race.” Protests over road and transport projects continue to swell.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor needs to pick up 13 seats, requiring a swing of 8 to 9 per cent, to win government next March. But if the Coalition loses seven seats, it will surrender its majority. Newspoll has Labor and the Coalition tied at 50:50 on the two-party vote. Labor’s internal polling shows a tight contest in key marginal seats across the state.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Does Foley expect to win the election? “Yes, I do,” he says. “This government is extremely vulnerable. They are on to their third premier, third deputy premier and fourth treasurer. I think my opponent is a No 2 who has been promoted above her station. I think she is out of touch with the reality of people’s lives.” Foley insists that Labor has rebuilt itself after the voters dispatched Kristina Keneally’s discredited government with brutal efficiency in 2011. It was the worst defeat for Labor in more than a century. Foley says the party has stabilised, recruited new MPs and remade its frontbench. A haul of seats were regained at the 2015 election and the party has done well in key by-election tests.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Labor was down and out from about 2008,” he says. “We were no longer serious about running a good government. It’s been a very long and slow climb back from that but we are in the best political shape we’ve been over the last 10 years. I have a team that is united and optimistic, and a government to get after.” Foley joined the Labor Party 30 years ago. The first leader he saw address a party conference was Carr in 1988. He did not imagine that he would be standing on that same stage all these years later.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I didn’t have a sense of manifest destiny,” he says. “But I’ve kept the faith and contributed to the Labor cause because it is a cause that I believe in very much.“There will be a moment when I walk into that Sydney Town Hall on Saturday and I’ll be lifted up, buoyed by the reception from the faithful. There will be a moment when I think we’ve really lifted this old party but I’ve got an election to win — and the race is far from run.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But cocooned within the walls of the city’s natural wonders, a political battle over Europe’s migrant crisis is reaching boiling point.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Public perception has fuelled anti-immigration sentiment in Italy and led to the election of a populist government, which came to power four weeks ago. The ­Eurosceptic government, led by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, is searching for its own Mediterranean solution and is adopting components of Australia’s Pacific Solution in the process.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">EU</span> countries have sought ­advice from Canberra, Home ­Affairs Minister Peter Dutton told The Weekend Australian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Italy this week turned two boats away, is considering offshore processing in Algeria and Libya, and may begin deporting some of the 500,000 migrants who have arrived from the Middle East and Africa. Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo ­Salvini, 45, announced his presence on the global political scene this month by blocking the arrival of a boatload of African <b>asylum</b>-seekers bound for Catania.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Salvini’s rejection of the humanitarian rescue <b>boat</b> Aquarius, with 629 people on board, prompted panicked informal discussions among several European leaders last Sunday ahead of the official <span class="companylink">EU</span> summit that closed yesterday. He also blocked the German-­operated ship Lifeline, laden with 234 migrants, prompting Spain and Malta to eventually take the passengers. Both ships were operated by non-government organisations, which Salvini has accused of fuelling the migrant crisis by inadvertently emboldening <b>asylum</b> seekers who take to the Mediterranean in substandard boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Silvini’s stance has emboldened European leaders such as Hungary’s Victor Orban and Austria’s Sebastian Kurz, who will become EU president for six months from tomorrow and has said curbing migration will be a priority.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 60 per cent of <b>refugee</b> applications in Italy have been rejected. According to some reports, more than 70 per cent of Italians support Salvini’s views on immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We can’t be the open port of all of Africa,” said Australian-born orthopaedic surgeon Dino Fiorenza, who recently retired from politics after serving as a centrist member of the Sicilian government. “There is no work for about 40 per cent of Sicilian young people and I don’t think we have the economy to give immigrants what they need.” Dr Fiorenza said the influx of “economic migrants” in search of a better life, rather than those fleeing prosecution, had tested the patience of Italians. He believes part of the anti-immigrant sentiment is fuelled by jealousy over government welfare and Italians losing jobs to migrants who work for less.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Italians have suggested relaxation of the Dublin regulation agreed to in 1990 by 12 <span class="companylink">EU</span> states including Italy, which prevents secondary movements of migrants between <span class="companylink">EU</span> countries. They also want a quota system to spread the settlement of refugees across Europe and the establishment of offshore processing centres in northern Africa — similar to the Australian centres on Nauru and Manus Island — to determine <b>refugee</b> status.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week The Weekend Australian visited Catania, Sicily’s second-largest city and a primary arrival point for <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Catania has expanded outwards from a medieval centre that has required constant rebuilding over the centuries because of Mount Etna’s rumblings. It is bustling and chaotic, with graffiti and rubbish on the footpath, and cobble stone avenues run to the sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We spoke to many migrants, mostly young men from Africa. For the most part they were studious, aspirational and determined to make a new life integrated into Italian society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A drive through the streets of central Catania reveals some of the impacts of the migrant wave. Africans have won a violent turf war against Bangladeshis and Pakistanis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Their prize? Control of the intersections in the city centre where they approach stopped vehicles with window wipers and spray bottles and beg drivers for spare euros.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Working in the shadow of a statue of a priest in a roundabout, Karufi Uthman, 26, said he left Nigeria because of “some problems” with his family in 2016. He was imprisoned for a time, accused of being part of a people-smuggling operation, which he denied. When pressed, he gave only scant details about his <b>refugee</b> claim.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Uthman is living in one of Italy’s largest immigration camps, Cara de Mineo, about a 40-minute drive from Catania.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I didn’t think I’d be living like this, I thought I’d be living large,” he said. “This situation is no good, because you are begging.” Not far away, brothers Festus, 18, and Kevin, 24, also from Nigeria, have been living with friends on mattresses beneath an apartment block. The kindness of a nearby shop owner allows them to keep their phones charged and their fake designer clothes are clean.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They neatly pack their mattresses, couch, backpacks and a mound of folded bedding in a corner before setting out to beg for money at the traffic lights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The trip they took from Nigeria to Italy via Libya by bus and <b>boat</b> took several months. They were picked up by an NGO ship when their <b>boat</b> started to sink.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The brothers are aware of the Sicilians who cross the street to avoid them. “Some of us are good but some are bad,” Kevin said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a cramped halfway house in the town of Scordia, 30km southwest of Mineo, 25 young African men live in five-bed dormitories and classrooms are filled with Italian language books.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many of the young men, who have been granted temporary visas, share similar stories of fleeing from vague “family problems” and wanting to establish a new life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among the inhabitants is Jolayemi Kehinde, 19, whose bed lies next to a tower of books. He’s read them all, bar one, and wants to go to university and be a journalist.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I left Nigeria because my family was persecuted and I needed to find a place where I could make my future,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Migration expert Irial Glynn, from the University of Leiden in The Netherlands, has written a book on Australian and Italian immigration policies. “I think all of Europe, when it comes to immigration, has Australia up on a pedestal and they would love to have the same kind of control over this issue,” Dr Glynn said. “It is more complicated, but I definitely think they (Italy) had a look at what Australia did and tried to replicate it.” A spokeswoman for Mr Dutton said officials had given advice to their Italian counterparts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“While it is a matter for other governments and regions to determine the most appropriate responses to their particular circumstances, the government is more than happy to share our experiences if asked which we have done with a number of European countries in the past,” she said. Inland from Catania is Cara de Mineo, a former army base fronted by armed guards and police that is sometimes home to 4000 immigrants, most of whom are waiting for their <b>refugee</b> claims to be ­assessed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2015, an African migrant from the compound was found guilty of the murder and robbery of elderly couple Vincenzo Solano and Mercedes Ibanez from nearby Palagonia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Residents said that most immigrants now avoided the town after the tensions that flared in the wake of the murders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A group of men outside a cafe in Palagonia had varied views about the immigrants. Most of them backed Salvini’s stance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He’s 70 per cent right,” said Antonio Fipala. Giuseppe Pappalardo believes the economic refugees “should go home”, while Salvatore Di Stefano said “they take our jobs”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I agree with what Salvini says, they should be spread over Europe,” said Nuccio Raia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Construction worker Daniele Lipari, 25, said he had lost work picking oranges to migrants, who accepted much lower wages and was struggling to feed his two young children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Recently elected Catania mayor Salvio Pogliese, a member of centre-right party Forza Italia, which is part of the ruling coalition, said he was well aware of Australia’s policy on immigrants arriving by sea. “Australia did well,” he said. “They give hospitality to those who can contribute to society, who can work. I think what they did was well balanced.” The mayor said statistics showed crime had risen around the Cara de Mineo and that many immigrants had been led astray by organised crime groups trading in drugs and prostitution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A guide said African prostitutes seen sitting on plastic chairs around Catania had mostly replaced those from eastern Europe.Summing up the views of many Sicilians, Mr Pogliese said Italy could not help everyone. “We can help only the people that need help because they are going away from a war or discrimination or ­racism,” he said. “We cannot allow people to die on the sea.”</p>

The medical retrieval guru talks to NIGEL HUNT about his extraordinary 42-year career.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">BILL Griggs still remembers the staccato bursts of high-powered rifle fire as he arrived at the police staging post.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Likewise, he can still remember seeing the puffs of dust as the bullets from the gunman’s rifle struck the dirt in the bare paddocks next to the ambulance he had just jumped out of.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A police officer explained to him the difference in the sound of the gunshots breaking the tension in the air.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The sharper, crackly ones belonged to gunman Tony Grosser’s semi-automatic rifle. The louder, deeper ones to the high-powered rifles used by STAR Group snipers as they returned fire from their precarious hiding spots.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And in between Grosser’s fortified refuge and the police staging post lay STAR Group officer Derrick McManus — slowly bleeding to death after being shot 14 times by Grosser.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Griggs, Australia’s foremost medical retrieval expert, had just landed by helicopter with a retrieval team as the 42-hour siege was in its infancy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At that stage, neither McManus’ colleagues — some of whom were still pinned down by Grosser’s gunfire just metres from his Nuriootpa house — nor Dr Griggs knew if he was alive or dead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The retrieval team had been at the staging post for a short time when the order was given to move to Grosser’s property in the ambulance. It pulled up and no-nonsense STAR Force commander Tom Rieniets, who is now retired, briskly moved from the ambulance to take cover with his men — who were pinned down, but still returning fire at Grosser from their cover.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was thinking, at that stage, watching this firefight unfold just metres away, ‘we are sitting here in a big plastic truck’,’’ Dr Griggs said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I told the two paramedics and the nurse to get out and we went to the rear of the ambulance to take cover. I kept thinking, ‘this is wrong, we should not be here’.’’ Dr Griggs said he half crawled and slid on his stomach to where Rieniets was and politely asked him if there was something he could do or “can we go’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“At that point, Tom’s radio went off and a voice said he could see the ambulance and they would see if they could get Derrick to it,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Tom asked what his condition was and was told it was unknown. I thought it meant he was dead.’’ Seconds later, McManus’ colleagues retrieved him, dragging him first to cover and then to the ambulance in a lifeless state.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Griggs attributes his survival to that point to the fact that after he was shot, McManus found cover, then curled himself up into a ball and was as still as possible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This stopped the bleeding from the 14 wounds to his abdomen, arms and legs. The fact his blood pressure had become so low because of the lack of blood in his body also helped stem further bleeding.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He had lost a lot of blood and was still in trouble, but he was still alive,’’ Dr Griggs said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But when the blokes grabbed him, moving him shook every blood clot that he had off and made things suddenly worse.’’ Dr Griggs said when he first looked at McManus, he thought he was dead. He was white, covered in blood and did not appear to be breathing. For the next 15 minutes, Dr Griggs and his team fought to save his life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I put my fingers on his neck and could not feel a pulse,’’ he said. “But then he sucked in a gulp of air suddenly. He was alive, but too ill for us to throw him in the ambulance and drive off.’’ At that point, Dr Griggs and his team placed pressure on all bleeding points and ECG leads were put on his chest to ascertain any electrical activity he had in his heart. Attempts by Dr Griggs to put a drip line in were problematic because both legs and one arm were shot up and to get access to his good arm meant he would be in full view of Grosser’s house.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Griggs ended up putting in a second drip line, using a large bore cannula directly into McManus’ femoral vein and started squeezing more fluid and blood — another five units — in as rapidly as possible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At one stage, his heart rate dropped as low as 40 beats per minute; he was just seconds from death.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Miraculously, his heartbeat increased as more blood and fluids were pushed into him and his blood pressure rose. Finally, his eyes started opening, some colour returned and his breathing stabilised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I thought ‘we are winning a bit’ because his heart rate came back up and I could then feel a carotid pulse in the high 100s,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I then thought to myself, ‘that is enough to get us out of here’.’’ By that stage, the helicopter had been brought closer — courtesy of a barrage of sniper fire into Grosser’s home to stop him from firing at it — and McManus was evacuated to the <span class="companylink">Royal Adelaide Hospital</span>, where a team of surgeons was waiting to take over.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the 12-minute trip, Griggs administered another four units of blood, taking the total so far to more than nine. Humans hold just 10 units of blood.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I still do not know why he did not die,’’ Dr Griggs said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Over the years, there have been a number of patients who have not read the manual and don’t know they are meant to die from the injuries they have sustained.’’ Although in reality it was just another day in the office for Dr Griggs, he remembers the now notorious 1994 Nuriootpa siege as his most dangerous medical retrieval. While the hundreds of medical retrievals he has completed in his 42-year career have been life-threatening for myriad reasons, it was the only one that involved live gunfire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Griggs, 61, who will today complete his final day as Director of Trauma Services and Senior Consultant (intensive care, retrieval services and anaesthetics) at the RAH, has had an astonishingly successful — and remarkably unselfish — career saving lives across the globe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not only was he responsible for establishing the world-renowned trauma service at the RAH, but he has led countless missions to disaster zones to treat the injured.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Griggs even invented a specialised medical instrument now used by doctors across the world to save more lives than even he has through his vital work in SA.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One doctor even used the instrument to save the life of Pope John Paul 11 in 2005.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Griggs’ overseas deployments — he is a Group Captain in the Royal Australian Air Force Specialist Reserve (Medical) — include the Gulf war during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, to East Timor in 1999 during the <span class="companylink">UN</span> emergency mission, the 2002 and 2005 Bali bombings, the 2004 Banda Aceh Asian Boxing Day tsunami disaster, the 2009 Ashmore Reef SIEV <b>refugee boat</b> disaster and the 2009 Samoa earthquake and tsunami disaster.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Remarkably, all of this came on top of his RAH role – which often saw him dangling from helicopters onto the pitching deck of a ship, crawling inside a petrol-soaked car wreck to treat a trapped victim or trying to save their lives in the relative safety of the RAH emergency department.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His desire to prevent road fatalities also led to his development of an Australian-first program to help change the attitude of young drivers in 2004 and his ongoing involvement with the Motor Accident Commission as its chairman.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His achievements have inspired countless awards, including an Order of Australia in 2003, Australian of the year for SA in 2006, and South Australian of the Year and the Ambulance Service Medal in 2009.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With these accomplishments firmly in mind, it’s astonishing to learn that Dr Griggs’s distinguished medical career almost didn’t happen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While he excelled in Year 12 at Prince Alfred College, studying medicine wasn’t his first choice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I didn’t know what to do,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I didn’t particularly want to be a teacher and I could see if I went into pure math, that might be where I ended up; engineering appealed to me but I didn’t want to copy Dad and no one else in my year was going to do engineering.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“So I put down medicine thinking if I got through a couple of years, I could always change to a science degree and do physics or something else.’’ And ironically, it wasn’t the fact Dr Griggs was studying medicine that sparked his interest in emergency medicine and laid the foundations for his stellar future.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While a junior medical student in 1976, at the age of just 19, he came across a car accident near the Pie Cart on North Tce after football practice and “had no idea what to do’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He and a mate then completed a St John first aid course and before long, he was a volunteer paramedic while still studying medicine. He attended his 100th fatal road crash before he graduated in 1981.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That appealed to my sense of adventure as much as my sense of altruism,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I really enjoyed the ambulance work and I was doing my fourth year when I realised I wanted to do the retrievals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I hated not being able to do things and not being able to help that chap at the pie cart was the start of it. That feeling of impotence was something I didn’t like, I have always liked to fix things, to achieve things.’’ There is little doubt some of the trauma cases Dr Griggs attended in his 15 years as a volunteer paramedic have had a lasting impact on him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The majority were horrific road crashes. When he started his stint, the road toll was around 350 fatalities a year, compared with around 100 now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On one horrific nightshift as a trainee, he attended two triple-fatality smashes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s not to say he has been immune from the shocking experiences he has been exposed to, here and overseas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Revealing he had suffered from PTSD, Dr Griggs said the catalyst was an incident in East Timor in 1999. He was based in Dili where he worked with the First Field Surgical Team and with the Australian Army’s 5th Aviation Regiment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Called to a gravesite, Dr Griggs had to help exhume bags containing the dismembered bodies of locals who had been slain weeks earlier.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once exhumed, he had to examine them to determine the cause of death. Unbelievably, this occurred while the children of one slain couple stood at the gravesite and watched.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When it was done, I stood up and told the commanding officer I needed to go for a walk along the beach. He said ‘no, it’s too dangerous’, but I CONTINUED PAGE 48 Griggs: A miracle worker in the midst of mayhem FROM PAGE 47 just told him I was going,’’ Dr Griggs recalled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I walked along the beach and just started crying uncontrollably.’’ Adding to his growing mental health concerns, the day after he returned to Adelaide, he was diagnosed with Dengue fever. Dr Girggs became seriously ill and was forced to take three months off work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he returned to work, his mental trauma would again become evident — this time in a resuscitation suite at the RAH.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He had already been experiencing vivid flashbacks to Timor and was sleeping erratically.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After a registrar pulled a dressing from the arm of a patient with an injury from a motorcycle smash, he had another significant flashback.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I had seen much worse than that many, many times but I immediately got this huge flashback of the smell of the bodies in Timor and it was like being hit in the face,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I turned around and walked briskly out of there, went to my office and cried again.’’ Not surprisingly, he sought professional help.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He discovered, through numerous counselling sessions, it was caused not just by the shocking scenes of carnage he had witnessed over several decades, but by the loss of a number of people — particularly children — that he could not save.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was a cumulative effect over time,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Remarkably, his treatment has allowed him to continue his vital work saving lives to this day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was achieved by using various coping mechanisms and techniques to deal with such scenes and situations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first real test of these measures came in 2002 with the first Bali bombings. One of the first people Dr Griggs called after being deployed was his psychologist and they discussed how he would manage being in the middle of such bloodshed once more. Not surprisingly, he overcame his first major test and has managed each similar scenario ever since.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Dr Griggs has many colourful anecdotes from more than a dozen deployments overseas, one sticks vividly in his mind.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It occurred while he was in Banda Aceh treating tsunami victims. Dr Griggs and a host of other specialists had ferried dozens of victims to the airport to be evacuated to Medan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After arriving at the airport, he learned the Hercules had had its landing clearance refused, forcing them to build a makeshift shelter between two ambulance trucks for shelter from the stifling heat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After some time, a US Navy Blackhawk helicopter from a nearby US carrier descended, neatly blowing away the huge tarpaulin sheltering the injured.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Seconds later, the plane of US secretary of state General Colin Powell and his entourage landed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An aggrieved and impatient Dr Griggs then had to give Secretary Powell a tour of the medical facilities and update him on the evacuation that was underway.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was at the end of this update Dr Griggs became something of a legend among his colleagues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Secretary Powell told him he would shortly be briefing President George Bush on the situation and asked him if there was anything he needed. With minders behind Secretary Powell furiously motioning at Dr Griggs to say no, Dr Griggs took a deep breath and responded that some help with ensuring landing clearances for planes used for evacuations were not delayed would be invaluable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A perceptive Secretary Powell responded by saying “and I suppose it would help if I got my aircraft out of the area?” to which Dr Griggs came to attention and replied: “Yes sir, please sir.” To Dr Griggs’ surprise, Secretary Powell then cut short his press conference following their discussion and his entourage was off the tarmac within minutes. Mysteriously, the Hercules evacuation plane that had been delayed was also granted immediate clearance and landed to evacuate the victims.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The next day, Dr Griggs’ commanding officer rang him. He told him he was going to nominate him for an Order of Australia award.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I told him I already had one of those and asked him what this was for,’’ Dr Griggs said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He said for being the only Australian who has told the US Secretary of State to f... off and survive.’’ While Dr Griggs’ medical career ends today, he will maintain a strong interest in improving road safety and reducing trauma through his chairmanship of the Motor Accident Commission, as well as continuing other board commitments that include ReturntoWork SA and SuperSA.A keen cyclist, he also plans to expand his interest in photography, four wheel driving and caravaning with his wife Maree and his latest hobby — geocaching.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia shouldn’t expect to escape the woes facing the <span class="companylink">EU</span> and US</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the <span class="companylink">EU</span>’s heads of government gather to discuss policies towards <b>asylum</b>-seekers, migration is causing political turmoil throughout the developed world.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Much as in the first era of globalisation, when the large-scale population movements that marked the period from the middle of the 19th century to the outbreak of World War I provoked fierce reactions, now too countries are moving to reassert control over their borders; but the strains that is inducing threaten to be as destabilising as the population movements themselves.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The continuing crisis in the US is a case in point. The fundamental problem is that Americans hold profoundly inconsistent aspirations. There is strong support for ensuring that those who enter the country illegally, and do not have good grounds for receiving <b>asylum</b>, are detained and deported. However, there is strong opposition to detaining children; so parents could be detained only by separating families. But since that too is strongly opposed, it is hard to see how the parents themselves could be detained.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That contradiction is just a microcosm of those that bedevil American migration policy, going from the fate of the so-called Dreamers to the balance between the skilled and family-reunion intakes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With no resolution in sight, migration will remain a running sore. The US may be capable of muddling through regardless, as it so often does. But an already battered <span class="companylink">EU</span> is not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The free movement of people within the union is fundamental to its reason for being; it is, however, hardly likely to survive if countries have vastly different policies on <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Until recently, the issue seemed to pit the eastern Euro­pean countries, which adopted a tougher stance, against the rest. But the east Europeans were never as isolated as they appeared to be — and now the hardliners form a broad and powerful group, which in addition to Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria includes Italy, Austria, Denmark and Finland.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Vocally opposing them is France; but it is not lost on his European counterparts that Emmanuel Macron’s rhetoric takes hypocrisy to new heights. Under the <span class="companylink">EU</span>’s September 2015 agreement, France was to resettle about 20,000 refugees from Greece and Italy; it has accepted only 5000. Moreover, it is aggressively seeking to prevent <b>asylum</b>-seekers from crossing into France, including by — allegedly illegally — sending border patrols into Italian territory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As for Macron’s lectures on Europe’s humanitarian obligations, and the contrast he draws with the Trump administration, they sit uncomfortably with the fact 4500 children are detained in French centres for <b>asylum</b>-seekers. That number has increased fourfold since Macron’s predecessor, Francois Hollande, promised to scrap the detention of children in 2012; and despite six decisions by the <span class="companylink">European Court of Human Rights</span> condemning France’s treatment of the children of <b>asylum</b>-seekers, Macron has done nothing to reverse the trend.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But however stormy the immediate tensions in the <span class="companylink">EU</span> may be, they pale compared with those that lie ahead. Sitting across the Mediterranean is a demographic time bomb: on average, each European woman has 1.6 children; in contrast, each woman in sub-Saharan Africa has 4.75 children, with fertility rates in the Sahel and the sub-Saharan savanna ranging from 5.2 children per woman in Burkina Faso to a world record of 7.15 in Niger.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many of the highest fertility rates — which with rapidly falling death rates translate directly into explosive population growth — are in France’s former colonies, creating migratory pressures made all the more intense by poor economic performance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That those countries, which are on Europe’s doorstep, are swept by civil conflict and by the spread of radical Islam only worsens the outlook. And it means that the inability of Europe’s leaders to credibly address the looming crisis is sure to harden public attitudes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When it was founded, Europeans looked to the <span class="companylink">EU</span> to protect them from overbearing and often inefficient governments; now, as the <span class="companylink">EU</span> appears to threaten their ability to defend their way of life, they are turning back to national governments as the bulwark of each country’s sovereignty.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With the <span class="companylink">EU</span> already in tatters, the gathering momentum of movements committed to national sovereignty will make the union’s ­future very different from its past.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It would be wrong to think Australia has escaped the forces wrenching other high-income ­nations. Yes, the Coalition has succeeded in bringing <b>boat</b> arrivals under control, after the chaos of the Rudd and Gillard years. However, global instability will continue to fuel the people-smuggling trade, while tougher policies in Europe will divert some of the growing exodus from Africa to our shores.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time, our migration system is struggling to cope as a torrent of appeals against its decisions undermines its effectiveness. Already there is a backlog of almost 22,000 migration cases in the Federal Circuit Court, with some being allocated hearing dates only in late 2020. And there are 38,000 cases pending in the migration division of <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span>, many of which will go on to further layers of appeals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With the system stretched to breaking point, its difficulties are merely a symptom of the onslaught the developed countries confront.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many years ago, Michael Walzer, a great American political theorist and (left-leaning) public intellectual, wrote that “to tear down the walls of the state is not to create a world without walls”; rather, it is to create “a thousand petty fortresses”, as those exposed to a surge in the number of outsiders “organise to defend the local politics and culture against strangers”.Those fortresses are rising before our eyes. The question is whether they will be fences between good neighbours, or a return to the hatred and distrust that impoverishes, and ultimately destroys, those it pretends to protect.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is bursting with television talent and the Logies are a testament to this. Dozens of stars are up for awards in the small screen night of nights, from entertainment veterans to TV newcomers. Here are our predictions for individuals and programs most likely to be crowned the best in the business when the red carpet is rolled out in our city on Sunday night.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">TV WEEK GOLD LOGIE – Best Personality on Australian TV Nominees: Andrew Winter (Love It Or List It Australia/Selling Houses Australia, Foxtel – Lifestyle), Grant Denyer (Family Feud/All Star Family Feud, Network Ten), Amanda Keller (The Living Room, Network Ten) Jessica Marais (Love Child, Nine Network; The Wrong Girl, Network Ten), Rodger Corser (Doctor Doctor, Nine Network), Tracy Grimshaw (A Current Affair, Nine Network) Our prediction: Amanda Keller</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The legend of The Living Room Amanda Keller is more than a fabulous screen queen. While it’s not her first rodeo as a Logie nominee, it is her first time being nominated for the most prestigious Logie of all – the Gold Logie. With a blessing from the charismatic Grant Denyer, 2018 could be her time. “It might be her year,” Grant said at the Logies nomination party on the Gold Coast last month. “She’s a breathtaking talent. I think it would be wonderful to honour someone who has left such an incredible television legacy like she has.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Being the only Gold Coast local to be nominated for a Logie, I’d love to see Andrew Winter take out top gong for most popular presenter. His role as host of Selling Houses Australia has helped propel the show to success, now the highest rating program on Foxtel’s Lifestyle channel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">MOST POPULAR DRAMA PROGRAM Nominees:Doctor Doctor (Nine Network), Home And Away (Channel 7), Love Child (Nine Network), Offspring (Network Ten), Wentworth (Foxtel – Showcase) Our prediction:Wentworth</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The critically acclaimed Foxtel show has developed a cult-like following since its inception in 2013 with its intense storylines exploring the turbulence of surviving life as an inmate in a women’s prison.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gogglebox offers an insight into the everyday Australian household, showing every one is unique but very similar at the same time.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rodger Corser has been in the television game for a while, but this year it’s his time to claim the Most Outstanding Actor Logie. His portrayal of Hugh Knight in Doctor Doctor is engaging and honest, playing a charismatic heart surgeon with a knack for attracting mischief.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But party activists have been told the weekend conference may run behind schedule and <b>refugee</b> policy may not be debated at all, or time could be strictly limited.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor for Refugees, an internal lobby group, is pushing the right and left factions to make the party’s policy on <b>asylum</b>-seekers an urgency motion that is debated earlier on Saturday or Sunday. Both factions are resisting this.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In any event, the debate will not be held until well after 2pm on Sunday, after the life membership presentation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As The Australian reported this month, Labor is facing a grassroots revolt over <b>refugee</b> policy with more than a dozen motions submitted to the conference calling for changes to the largely bipartisan policy of offshore detention and processing, and <b>boat</b> turn-backs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Debate on <b>refugee</b> policy was shut down at the Victorian Labor Party conference last month. The right faction and the industrial left grouping, including the Construction Forestry Maritime Mining and Energy Union, joined forces to deny debate on motions such as closing offshore detention centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the party’s policy on <b>asylum</b>-seekers is determined by the national conference, to be held in December, Labor for Refugees has told The Australian that the NSW Labor conference should debate “issues of importance” regardless of whether “they are state or national” matters. They are seeking a guarantee that <b>refugee</b> policy will be debated on the weekend. Not one motion to the conference fully supports the party’s policy on refugees. Many branches want the conference to endorse a statement of principles advocated by Labor for Refugees, which calls for “a fair and humane policy on refugees and people seeking ­<b>asylum</b>”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The internal lobby group has called for a royal commission into “the abuses of men, women and children” in detention; the right for protection claims to be assessed in Australia and the ending of offshore detention; and a 12-month timetable for determining claims for protection with judicial appeal rights under Australian law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Motions by Labor branches rail against the “demonisation” of refuges, want the policy of denying landfall to <b>asylum</b>-seekers arriving by <b>boat</b> to be revisited, and allege instances of “medical negligence” at the Nauru and Manus Island centres. Motions also call for offshore detention centres to be closed and refugees relocated to Australia, New Zealand or the US. Several motions urge a future Labor government to focus on negotiating a more effective regional framework for dealing with <b>asylum</b>-seekers in partnership with the <span class="companylink">UN</span>.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The battle over border security is intensifying as migration activists go on the offensive. Recent research illustrates the deep divide between open-border activists and democratic citizens on the size and profile of immigration into Western countries.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The resurgent belief that democratic governments should govern in the national interest has caused a moral panic among big-migration and <b>refugee</b> advocates.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are resorting to desperate measures. The use of children for porous-border propaganda is a sign of the times.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two polls that shocked the ­nation showed Australians dislike policy that puts foreign interests before the national interest. Almost half (49 per cent) of people responding to an Essential poll in 2016 wanted to ban Muslim immigration. Many respondents cited Muslims’ lack of integration into Australian society as their reason.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A majority of Australians wants less immigration overall, according to research published recently by the Australian Population Research Institute. Researchers found that 54 per cent of people surveyed wanted a reduction in the migrant intake. By contrast, 60 per cent of candidates at the 2016 federal election wanted to increase immigration. The figure rose to 67 per cent for Labor candidates.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among the people most removed from public opinion are the opinion-makers; 72 per cent of arts and media ­professionals want to increase ­immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As public opinion turns against the politically correct media, journalists are taking more extreme measures to enforce their world view. A disturbing trend is the use of children to turn public opinion against secure borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Picture this: a toddler in the borderlands screams as US border patrol frisks her mother. Her face is upturned and desperate. The heart-wrenching image is splashed across global media. The scarlet letter press declares US President Donald Trump and nationalists guilty without trial.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was an encore performance by journalists, who thrilled at the chance to vilify patriots. And it was fake news — again. Getty Images photographer John Moore captured the moment that provoked a global outcry. The news went viral after the sobbing child photo was linked to Trump’s plan to separate children from immigrant parents in detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The front cover of Time magazine featured an illustration of the President towering over the crying toddler with the caption “Welcome to America”. It was conceptually clever, but political overkill. Trump’s base already was moving against his proposal to separate children from parents who had ­entered the country illegally.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fiercest backlash against the President’s proposal came from Christians and conservatives for whom the sanctity of the family comes second only to God. The image appalled conservative Republicans. Evangelicals denounced him. Former first ladies lined up in defence of the rights of the child. Melania Trump took a public stand against her husband. By the time the photo of Yanela Sanchez was exposed as fake news — she had not been removed from her mother at the border — Trump had ditched his ill-advised plan. However, an intransigent problem remains. The powerful political effect of images depicting children as victims creates a perverse incentive for more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An increasing number of children is being used for political purposes. Before Yanela, there were the children in steel cages. Jon Fav­reau, who worked as a speechwriter for Barack Obama, retweeted a story with a photo ­supposedly showing immigrant children in detention under the Trump administration. Social media erupted in rage before the truth came out; the photo was taken while Obama was president.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This month, migrant activists used another kid in a cage for political effect. This time, I believe the production of the image bordered on child exploitation. The photo depicting a little boy crying with his face pressed against a wire cage was circulated on social media. <span class="companylink">CNN</span> reported that journalist and filmmaker Jose Antonio Vargas posted the photo on <span class="companylink">Twitter</span>, saying: “This is what happens when a government believes people are ­‘illegal’. Kids in cages.” After Vargas posted the image on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span>, it reportedly received almost 10,000 shares. However, the crying child used as proof that secure borders harmed youth was in the cage courtesy of open-border activists. The photos were taken at a protest against the use of secure facilities to process migrants. The sobbing toddler stuck in a cage with his brother was photographed by Leroy Pena, head of the Brown Berets in Dallas-Fort Worth. Pena wrote on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span>: “This was part of our protest yesterday, but this is actually going on right now, at this very moment, in child detention centres throughout the country.” He later defended the use of the child and said the little boy was crying only because he saw his mother outside the cage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the recent history of child pawns used for open-border propaganda, there are few more shocking cases than that of Alan Kurdi. Images of the drowned child went viral. Like the photo of Yanela, the image of Alan provoked the most primal maternal instinct to protect a child from harm. The outrage seemed justified. His father, Abdullah Kurdi, stated the family was seeking <b>asylum</b> when their <b>boat</b> engine failed and Alan drowned. Activists claimed the boy was a victim of Western cruelty to refugees. They demanded the abolition of secure-border policy. The truth about a little boy’s terrible death was lost in the noise of activists clamouring for a cause. It came to light after people on the same <b>boat</b> as the Kurdi family identified Abdullah Kurdi as the captain. The boy was a victim of people-smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The demise of the democratic world is empowered by an activist class that seeks to introduce ­porous-border policy without democratic consent. In reaction to popular revolt against rule from above, activists have sunk to a new low: using children for propaganda.Open-border activists push children to the frontline of border wars, then feign shock when innocents die. Australia signed the <span class="companylink">UN</span> protocol on child soldiers in 2002. The <span class="companylink">UN</span> opposed the use of children in armed conflicts, but it tolerates the abuse of children for political conflicts. It doesn’t matter whether the exploitation of children comes from the political left or right. It must stop.</p>

"Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country," Donald Trump tweeted on Monday, a couple of days before he modified his policy of separating migrant children from their parents (for now they will go to jail with their parents instead).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Offshore processing?

This prevents them launching into the dangerous Mediterranean crossing.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abuse in detention?

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Paying people smugglers to turn back boats? Italy's previous government struck a deal with "tribes" on Libya's southern borders, offering what it called an "alternative economy" to trafficking.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Stop the boats? Italy's new deputy prime minister and minister of the interior, head of the right-wing Lega, has vowed to "defend" the <span class="companylink">EU</span>'s southern flanks from migrants and showed his intent by banning a shipload of rescued <b>asylum</b> seekers from Italy's ports this month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Italy no longer wants to be complicit in the business of illegal immigration, so they will have to find other ports to go to," Matteo Salvini said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Salvini has long cited Australia's migration system as a global ideal. And now he is the latest world leader to follow prime minister John Howard's border control line that defined Australian politics for a generation: "We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Howard called his 2001 election policy "an uncompromising view about the fundamental right of this country to protect its borders".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Trump echoed the sentiment, tweeting on Tuesday: "If you don't have borders, you don't have a country!"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why does the world suddenly seem to be paying attention to our example? Are we responsible? If so, why did it take Europe and the US a decade-and-a-half to catch on?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Or are we just a convenient case study for some of those who would have adopted these policies anyway, and there's something bigger going on?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A leaked transcript of the January 2017 phone conversation between Trump and Malcolm Turnbull suggests the US President took a cue on border control and national security directly from Australia. Turnbull said he'd spoken to Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and another White House immigration adviser and "we reflected on how our policies have helped to inform your approach. We are very much of the same mind".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was referring to Trump's contentious ban on taking refugees from a list of Muslim-majority countries, which Turnbull said was "exactly what we have done with the [Australian] program to bring in 12,000 Syrian refugees".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then the conversation took a turn for the worse, as Turnbull tried to persuade Trump to accept refugees from our detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump called out the hypocrisy in claiming the US should take people that Australia refused.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull replied with a summary of Australia's deterrence policy to stop people smugglers by "depriving them of the product ... if you try to come to Australia by <b>boat</b>, even if we think you are the best person in the world ... we will not let you in".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Trump interjected: "That is a good idea. We should do that too. You are worse than I am."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here we are, 18 months later, with children in cages in Texas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In April US Attorney-General Jeff Sessions announced a new "zero-tolerance" policy ending the Obama-era pragmatism that kept families who crossed the border out of detention. And, as in Australia, there were signs that cruelty works as a deterrent. As news of the US mistreatment of children spread, would-be migrants in Central America told The <span class="companylink">New York Times</span> they were reconsidering their plans (though they also said it would make them more likely to seek help from people smugglers).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But, of course, Trump hardly needed persuading when it came to tougher border laws. Rather than picking up on a bright idea from Australia, Trump's current political views have been there all along - and shaped into policy by lifelong right-wing immigration opponents such as senior White House advisers Steve Bannon (now departed) and Stephen Miller.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the day Trump announced his candidacy in June 2015, he complained that Mexico was not "sending the best ... they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists ... they're sending us not the right people".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He complained, "We have no protection and we have no competence, we don't know what's happening, and it's got to stop and it's got to stop fast."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And he has not credited Australia alone for his views on migration policy, though in February at the White House he told Turnbull that Australia's merit-based system has "been very successful and we're hoping to follow in your footsteps".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On his first address to Congress in February 2017 he claimed he had been made President by "one simple but very crucial demand: that America must put its own citizens first". He decried the "current system of lower-skilled immigration" and promised a merit-based system "like Canada, Australia and many others".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump's rhetoric, including a repeated emphasis on the supposed link between immigrants and crime, has been stronger and more consistent than the occasional attempt by Australian politicians to taint <b>asylum</b> seekers as terrorists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Trump, right from the start, put crime at the centre of his objections to immigrants. There was the "Mexican rapists" line in 2015. There have been his repeated references to MS-13, a criminal street gang that originated in Los Angeles and is behind violence, drug activity and murders across the country: Trump claims a tough border protection policy is vital to cracking down on the gang whose members are mostly illegal aliens, according to authorities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump's infamous tweet in February 2017 took his story about the dangers of immigration to Europe: "You look what's happening last night in Sweden ... they took in large numbers [of immigrants]. They're having problems like they never thought possible."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The theme emerged again on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition," Trump tweeted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture! We don't want what is happening with immigration in Europe to happen with us!"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">German crime is at near-record lows, and though violent crime in particular is higher than in 2014, and the rise has been partly linked to immigration, it has fallen significantly in the past year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Trump - perhaps recalling his less-than-friendly encounter with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the recent <span class="companylink">G7</span> summit - had put his finger on a sore point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Europe, hostility to immigration is on the rise, with right-wing populist parties gaining electoral ground and even entering government. Last year the National Front candidate reached the second round of France's presidential vote, and the Alternative for Germany captured an unprecedented slice of the popular vote in Germany's parliamentary elections, causing Merkel a major and lasting political headache.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This year the right-wing, anti-migrant Lega party took power in Italy, in partnership with the politically ambiguous populists of the Five Star Movement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A poll in 2017 found a majority of respondents in every European country apart from Finland were either "worried" or "very worried" about immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is a fallout from the migration crisis of 2015, which shocked the continent as a wave of refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan came across the Mediterranean, mobilised by the worsening wars and declining conditions in Middle Eastern <b>refugee</b> camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This wave has been blamed on Merkel's decision in September 2015 for Germany to suspend the "Dublin protocol" under which <b>asylum</b> seekers must be processed in the <span class="companylink">EU</span> country where they first arrive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the context is important. It was days since the image of the dead body of three-year-old Alan Kurdi on a Turkish beach had shocked the world, and Hungary was busing thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers north and west from Budapest.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The alternative to taking them in was to deploy water cannon and tear-gas at the German or Austrian border. Austria's then foreign minister Sebastian Kurz complained, "The western Balkan countries are overrun, overwhelmed and have been left to their own devices ... We have to help them."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just a year later Kurz was complaining that the <span class="companylink">EU</span> "cannot act like a human trafficker". In an interview with <span class="companylink">Politico</span> in 2016, he said the <span class="companylink">EU</span> should apply "the Australian model", which he said meant "stop illegal migrants at the external border".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And last year Kurz was elected Austria's Chancellor, having campaigned on a promise to "stop illegal immigration".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a rather unfortunate choice of words, Kurz called this month for his country, Italy and Germany to form an "axis of the willing" against illegal migration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But despite the historical resonance, the idea is catching on. Kurz used his first visit to Germany as Chancellor in January to pledge "increased co-operation" with Germany on "stronger borders", a sentiment that Merkel approved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Merkel's shaky alliance with her conservative, Bavarian coalition partner is on the rocks over migration policy - they want to toughen up in response to the rise of the AfD.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indeed, across Europe anti-migrant parties are hitting new highs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Sweden the populist Democrats are now in front in the polls ahead of the September election, polling 29 per cent, more than double their best ever election result. The country's other major parties have ruled out a coalition with the party, which until quite recently was an explicitly white-supremacist, neo-Nazi movement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But centrist blocking tactics did not work in Italy, where Salvini's Lega campaigned under the slogan "Italians first" (note: Italians, not just Italy), and is moving quickly to crack down on <b>asylum</b> seeker intake and also on the domestic Roma population.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In June 2015, Lega leader Matteo Salvini said "setting limits to immigration is a sign of civilisation ... my model is England, Australia". A year earlier he had noted with approval that "Australia uses its navy to repel the boats".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The far-right and populist parties have been around in a number of European countries for quite a while," says Jonathan Portes, former economist for the UK Cabinet Office, now a professor of economics and public policy at King's College London teaching the politics of immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But for most of them, the focus on immigration is new. Lega, for example, until recently was much more concerned about Italy's north subsidising its south. Viktor Orban in Hungary didn't come to power on a particularly anti-immigrant platform, but it was his main focus on his recent re-election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"What they have in common is taking advantage of the <b>refugee</b> crisis in 2015," he says. "Immigration turned out to be a perfect issue for some populist parties because it's a way of crystallising the dissatisfaction of people who feel either economically or socially left behind or excluded."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another "perfect" issue was linking Muslim populations to Islamist terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The irony is that populists are coming to power on a promise to stop a migration crisis that appears to have ended more than a year ago, under previous administrations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">May saw less than half the number of irregular border crossings into Europe compared with a year before. The number of crossings in 2017 was 60 per cent fewer than in 2016.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the central Mediterranean - Italy's concern - less than a fifth the number of <b>asylum</b> seekers arrived this year compared with May 2017. The number of African migrants reaching Italy was down 90 per cent year on year from 2016 to 2017.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Portes is dismissive of the idea that Australia has inspired Europe's new direction on immigration or border control, despite the regular use of the phrase "Australian-style points system" in political discourse.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The 'points-based system' is a great catchphrase in the UK and has been for at least a decade," he says. "When I was in government I remember the then immigration minister Liam Byrne announce we would have an Australian-style points system ... [a colleague] said, 'The focus groups love it.'</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But the fact is nobody, including Nigel Farage, has any idea how the Australian system works."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The phrase is just used as a proxy for immigration systems common to almost any country that manages its immigration intake, Portes says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Saying you want an Australian-style points system is just a way of dodging all the real questions about what your system actually looks like. And if you asked any of the people who witter on about it what the difference is between the Australian and Canadian points systems, they won't have a clue."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When it comes to the border policy side, offshore processing has been considered in Britain since at least the mid-2000s, Portes says - again, before Australia became a role model.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"You can understand why policymakers are attracted to it, they think, 'Look, Australia did it and it worked, it stopped arrivals, it provided a deterrent.'</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It appears to be reasonably effective and not quite as inhumane as actually shooting people ... But I think trying to replicate it in the <span class="companylink">EU</span> context would prove a lot harder."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One explanation for Australia "getting there first" on immigration and border issues is that we got there first on populism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rae Wear, a leading political scientist at the University of Queensland, has argued that populism "was a permanent feature of John Howard's government", used to sideline One Nation, wedge the opposition and reconcile the rival neo-liberal and social conservative sides of his party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tellingly, Howard has professed himself "delighted" with Brexit, and praised Trump for articulating resentment against an "avalanche of political correctness".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All politics works in cycles. If Australia led the way into this obsession with migration, will we lead the way out?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If so, there are very few signs of it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia's policy on <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees seems entrenched. There is no widespread push to bring the people from Manus Island and Nauru to Australia, and Nauru still hosts around 140 children, according to the <b>Asylum</b> Seeker Resource Centre. An Essential poll last year found only 25 per cent of people felt Australia's policies were "too tough".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On immigration generally, the latest Lowy poll found a majority of Australians thought the total number of migrants coming to Australia each year was too high: more than in 2017 or 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No politician seems capable of breaking the populist mould.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Former foreign minister Gareth Evans says economic and security anxiety are manifesting as cultural anxiety, with "immigrants seen as taking jobs, <b>asylum</b> seekers as taking welfare, and Muslims as threatening jobs".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a recent essay he blames the current crop of mainstream politicians for lacking "that instinctive ability to connect", decrying them as reactive prisoners of the media cycle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What Australia needs is an "attractive storyteller" in politics, Evans says. But he doesn't come up with any candidates.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">'If you don't have borders, you don't have a country!' Donald Trump, US President</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is no longer a pariah but a world leader in dealing with the historic movement of people</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the great global crisis of unprecedented people movement, Australia, for once, is ahead of the trend and at the right end of the policy, political and humanitarian cycle.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After years of being described as an international pariah for its border protection policies under both Labor and Coalition governments, Australia is now seen as a model of how to achieve humane treatment, avoid deaths, manage immigration and achieve social cohesion all at the same time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ironically, this success is breeding a complacency that threatens to push Australia back into the troubled international waters of mass illegal immigration because understandable compassion is gaining political strength in the absence of a clear and immediate danger. A Newspoll this week showed that 50 per cent of voters believed a Labor government would “make no difference” or “improve” the handling of the <b>asylum</b> seeker issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While a significant minority of 37 per cent — built on a core of Coalition and One Nation supporters — believed the ALP would “open the floodgates” on <b>asylum</b>-seekers, there is clearly room for a political message aimed at softening Australia’s stance on mandatory detention, offshore processing and third-country solutions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Naturally Peter Dutton as Coalition Immigration Minister wants to make a political point about the threat of Labor opening the floodgates. But there is a genuine risk to policymakers on both sides — particularly Bill Shorten — that activists can marshal popular support among a complacent but compassionate public.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The political threat to the Coalition is that to suddenly shift even slightly on border protection policies and offshore processing would remove that core of Coalition support from one of the few strengths the government has left without gaining from Greens or Labor supporters. For the Opposition Leader, the task of staying on message is harder because, as his one-time leadership rival from the left, Anthony Albanese, said last night, no one wants people in detention indefinitely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is a message carried from the <b>refugee</b> advocacy groups that accuse Dutton of having “blood on his hands” and demand the 690 men in detention in Papua New Guinea and 914 men, women and children on Nauru be brought immediately to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton tells Inquirer that amid a global threat Australia’s position of strength may be “undone overnight” and the growing sense of complacency and natural compassion means Australian politics is entering a ­danger zone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are in a danger phase because only a month ago we stopped a steel-hulled vessel with 131 people coming out of Sri Lanka, there are 14,000 people still in Indonesia, and there is excited chatter among people-smuggling syn­di­cates about the prospect of Australia being available again,” he says. “So, it’s not the time for us to take our foot off the throat of this threat and it’s essential that people realise that the hard-won success of the last few years could be undone overnight by a single act of compassion in bringing 20 people from Manus to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The boats are there, we are scuttling boats, we are returning people and we are turning around boats, where it is safe to do so. So, the boats haven’t gone away and if there is a success defined by an ­arrival of a <b>boat</b> in Australia then the word will spread like wildfire.” With every populated continent facing life-and-death migrations as people escape strife, oppression and poverty, governments everywhere are scrambling to handle humanitarian crises, internal political and social dissent, economic disruption, budget costs, anti-immigration sentiment, and racial and religious conflict.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Governments have changed or are in danger of falling because of mass migration. Countries are turning back <b>refugee</b> boats, blocking their borders and advocating offshore “reception centres” and there is social unrest and division.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the US, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Spain, Malta, Denmark, Sweden and Austria, governments are under pressure over illegal immigrants, refugees, border protection, immigration levels, employment, social welfare and international aid. In Asia, South America and Africa the passage of people is causing friction between nations, subjecting individuals to criminal exploitation and causing deaths.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The political debates have already led to changes of government in Italy and Slovenia, while in Germany Angela Merkel ’s leadership looks like ending and social democratic parties of the left in Australia and Scandinavia are rapidly redrawing policies to protect their borders and budgets.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet Australia — the hard-hearted, uncaring pariah of the social left world for more than a decade, and vilified by the <span class="companylink">UN</span> and <b>refugee</b> advocacy groups — faces nothing like these crises at the end of international <b>refugee</b> week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration levels are still a potent political issue and there is strong popular feeling that our record intake should be reduced. But the immigration debate is not being ­fuelled by the unreasoned fear of illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals or illegal immigrants; it is about the urban squeeze — insufficient housing, public transport, utilities and open space. The fear of refugees “taking our jobs” is minuscule within the broad spectrum of an economic debate about stimulating the building industry and manufacturing while supplying more housing. This is because Australia has been able to turn the advantage of being an island into a social, economic and political solution to ­migration by taking hard and hard-hearted choices since the 1980s. The underpinning of Australia’s successful migrant society has been ordered immigration, which provides popular certainty and reassurance that Australia can be pragmatic and compassionate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There has been a boom-and-bust cycle as governments have addressed popular concern about <b>boat</b> arrivals with various tough measures, then responded to compassionate cries by watering them down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the early 1990s, when faced with annual illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals that peaked at just 18 boats with 953 people aboard, Labor introduced mandatory detention for <b>asylum</b>-seekers arriving by <b>boat</b> and opened desert detention centres that housed men, women and children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the late 90s, faced with an annual peak of 5516 <b>asylum</b>-seekers arriving by <b>boat</b>, the Howard Coalition government introduced offshore processing and the so-called Pacific Solution with detention centres in PNG and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After 2001 annual illegal arrivals dropped to a handful and it wasn’t until 2009, when the Rudd Labor government ended the ­Pacific Solution, that illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals and <b>asylum</b>-seekers jumped to record annual levels — more than 900 boats and 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers. Kevin Rudd’s short second stay as prime minister led to the reopening of the detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru but was too late to make an obvious impact before the election loss of 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Abbott Coalition government “stopped the boats” with the extra measure of “turning back the boats” and demonstrating that the “pull” factor of Australia was as great or greater than the “push” factor of uncertainty elsewhere. There has been one <b>boat</b> in five years, detention centres have been closed and 292 people have gone to the US in recent weeks from Manus Island and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton says Australia cannot bring in any <b>asylum</b>-seekers who have sought to come illegally by <b>boat</b> because it will “put Australia back on the table”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“History shows both in John Howard ’s time and Kevin Rudd’s experimental phase and, again, after the Abbott-Turnbull government’s success, if you don’t take Australia off the table then the people-smuggling trade immediately restarts and if people think they can wait us out over one, two, three, five years on Manus or Nauru but will eventually get to Australia they will be here in their thousands,” Dutton says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s not true to say there are no boats — we’ve turned around over 30 boats with over 800 people on them and if those boats got through, say, under a Labor government, the 50,000 on 800 boats would follow very quickly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The fact is the boats haven’t gone away. The problem is the public is just not seeing them.”That’s the government’s problem, anyway. Complacency grows with out of sight, out of mind.</p>

Peter Dutton has warned his Coalition colleagues that Australia is in a “danger phase” with illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals and one act of compassion could “undo overnight” the five years of hard work in “stopping the boats”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Facing renewed calls to bring people in detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru to Australia as Europe and the US face political and social crises over immigration and refugees, the Immigration Minister is adamant “it’s not time to take our foot off the throat of this threat”.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent weeks Italy and Malta have turned back crowded boats crossing from north African to Europe, German Chancellor Angela’s Merkel’s leadership is under threat because of <b>asylum</b> policy, and Hungary, Slovenia and Denmark are considering policies to block borders or support overseas processing of <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yesterday Malcolm Turnbull backed Mr Dutton’s hard line on detention when asked about Mr Trump’s backdown over separating children from parents who illegally cross the US border. He said Australia’s “compassionate, secure and well-managed immigration system” was based on strong border protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Here in Australia we have one of the most generous <b>refugee</b> and humanitarian programs in the world,” the Prime Minister told the Nine Network. “The reason we can do that is because we decide, the Australian government decides, representing the Australian people, who comes to Australia; not people-smugglers.” At the end of <b>Refugee</b> Week, <b>asylum</b>-seeker advocates accused Mr Dutton of “having blood on his hands” over deaths in offshore detention centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chris Breen, for the <b>Refugee</b> Action Collective, said Mr Trump had reversed a decision on separating families but the “Prime Minister continues Australia’s ­vicious cruelty to refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers, only confirming Trump’s words to Turnbull that ‘you are worse than I am’.” The <b>Refugee</b> Action Collective also said Bill Shorten “would not have Labor’s significant electoral lead” over the Coalition if he spoke out for people who have been in detention for more than five years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week a Newspoll survey showed that 50 per cent of voters believed a Labor government would either “improve” or “make no difference” to the Australia’s <b>asylum</b>-seeker policies after a general poll confirmed the ALP’s two-party-preferred lead of 52 to 48 per cent over the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is growing pressure within the ALP and trade union movement for Labor to drop its bipartisan policies of turning back boats and offshore detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last night Anthony Albanese “called out” the Turnbull government’s “failure to settle refugees in third countries” and said the use of “prolonged” detention as a deterrent was a policy with a “deep flaw at its heart”.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government has signed a deal to send refugees on Nauru who need urgent medical care to Taiwan, in an undisclosed arrangement aimed at stopping them from applying to stay in Australia after being treated in local hospitals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> can reveal Australia signed a memorandum of understanding with Taiwan - which is not a signatory to the 1951 <b>Refugee</b> Convention - last September that has so far seen about five refugees flown 5500 kilometres to the capital Taipei for high-level care.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The previously undisclosed deal has prompted lawyers to warn that medical care is being dictated by the political imperative of avoiding having refugees on Nauru reach Australia, where they can access its court system.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent months, a 55-year-old Iranian woman in need of critical heart surgery has been among the people treated in Taiwan and then returned to Nauru. A 63-year-old Afghan man who is reportedly dying of lung cancer is refusing to move to Taiwan for palliative care, demanding instead to come to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this week the Federal Court accepted a 30-year-old pregnant Somali woman's argument that she needed an Australian hospital's higher standard of care rather than a Taiwanese facility. The woman needs an abortion but faces complications because she suffered female genital mutilation as a young woman .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokeswoman for the Department of Home Affairs confirmed the agreement with Taiwan was signed in September and that "several individuals have already received medical treatment in Taiwan and returned to Nauru".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The government has been clear that people subject to regional processing arrangements will not be settled in Australia," she said. "Medical transfer is not a pathway to settlement in Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has never announced the memorandum of understanding and refused to release it on Friday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 400 refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers have been flown to Australia for treatment from Nauru and Manus Island since the former Labor government reinstated offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The vast majority have then been able to stay by preparing applications for High Court injunctions against their return. While the court has yet to hear a case, the government has generally put medical transferees who have sought legal help to stay after their treatment on bridging visas and undertaken not to send them back to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Taiwan is generally regarded as having a good quality medical system. The Home Affairs Department spokeswoman said it was "consistently ranked as having some of the best hospitals and medical technology in the world".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has long provided aid and humanitarian assistance to Nauru, which is one of the few countries that recognises Taiwan as an independent nation rather than as part of China.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Taiwan also is not a United Nations member state and therefore not a signatory to the <b>Refugee</b> Convention, meaning it is not automatically bound to hear <b>asylum</b> applications. It does not have well-defined <b>refugee</b> laws.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Refugee</b> lawyer David Manne said the policy showed "the extreme lengths to which the government will resort to avoid its basic obligations to these people".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The fundamental concern must be the person's need for medical treatment. Once again, we see the absurd spectacle of the Australian government searching the globe to hive off its basic obligations ... to properly care for people subject to its policies which inflict such devastating harm."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lawyer George Newhouse of the National Justice Project - which handled the case involving the pregnant Somali woman - said the government was "sending a clear message to <b>asylum</b>-seekers around the world, that if they attempt to come to Australia by <b>boat</b>, they will be denied adequate medical care and our government will take all steps, including exposing them to harm, to ensure that they never reach the Australian mainland".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is understood to have sought assistance from more countries for medical transfers. But Taiwan is the only one that has signed a deal with the Turnbull government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some patients have previously also been transferred to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.</p>

Since then, he has recast himself as an author, playwright, engineer and musician He has stared death in the face. Marched onto a ­soccer field near his village in the Democratic ­Republic of Congo, 13-year-old Future Destin Fidel stands with his sister and about 50 other children, women and men. Rebels, armed with machetes, knives and AK47s, will surely kill them all. In the years of war and chaos in his central ­African nation, life is cheap. With guns aimed and fingers poised on triggers, the order to execute is maybe a moment away. But, inexplicably, as the terrified group prepares to die, an argument breaks out among the rebels and they walk away. It is normal to be killed. It is ­exceptional to be spared.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fidel, now 30, of Ipswich, 40km west of Brisbane, still doesn’t know why he escaped death that day. He was ­resettled in Australia in 2005 after spending years in a Tanzanian <b>refugee</b> camp and is now a qualified electrical engineer as well as a talented author, playwright, screenwriter and aspiring actor. Unable to speak or understand a word of ­English on his arrival in Brisbane, Fidel graduated from southside ­Sunnybank State High School and obtained a Bachelor of Engineering from <span class="companylink">Griffith University</span> in 2014. But ­engineering was only ever his “backup”. His heart lay with the arts and telling stories of his country. He also dreamed of being an actor. He formed the (former) dance group Fimbo Boys in 2007, was involved in making student films at university, and became playwright-in-residence for La Boite Theatre Company in 2012.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His debut play, Prize Fighter, was featured to critical ­acclaim at the 2015 Brisbane Festival and also toured to Sydney. Fidel has now reframed Prize Fighter as his debut novel and is co-writing the screenplay for a feature film.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ART IMITATES DEATH</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Set in the DRC, Prize Fighter’s lead character, Isa Alaki, sees his family slaughtered by rebels when he is 10-years old. In a kill-or-be-killed scenario, he is forced to fight with the same forces that massacred his family. After years of witnessing and committing unspeakable horrors, Isa escapes and eventually finds his way to a new life in Brisbane. He embarks on a boxing career but is ­plagued by flashbacks of his traumatic childhood.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The story is not Fidel’s own. He has combined things he witnessed and heard and mixed them with stories from ­others. Though it is a novel, he says, atrocities similar to what he writes about did occur during the war. Some of his experiences do find a way into the book, such as the ­traditions of his family tribe, begging on the streets of ­Tanzania after fleeing his country, early hopes of being an ­engineer, and also an experience of being refused entry to a Brisbane ferry. But he has never boxed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There are also some things I saw that are not in the book,” he says. “For example, the Mai-Mai [a community-based militia group formed to defend their local territory] … if they kill someone, they cut their head off, put it on a spear and parade it around. I’ve seen that as a kid.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I wanted to tell the world the things that happened in my country, and that’s why I wanted to be an actor. After I arrived in Australia, I got into making student films and did some work as an extra, but I was always in the background. I want to be in the front! So that’s when I started writing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Engineering was always the backup. Some people would say if you have a Plan B you don’t really believe in your Plan A, so I thought I would pursue it and see what happens. Even though it’s not acting, writing is similar.” After two years as an electrical engineer with Australian wholesale company Arlec, Fidel left the industry to work on his romantic comedy feature film, Red Flag, filmed in ­Tanzania and Nigeria. Fidel wrote, directed and acted in the film, which is now streaming on <span class="companylink">Amazon</span> Prime.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Currently he’s a subcontractor for <span class="companylink">Australia Post</span>, ­delivering parcels while working on other projects, including writing a play titled Belle Epoque for Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre, and is in the initial stages of a documentary film about Tanzania’s first president, Julius K. Nyerere.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And he sings. Fidel has released two albums of “gospel rap” in collaboration with other artists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A FAMILY FLEES</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of six siblings, Fidel was born in Kazimia, in DRC’s east, and lived with his family in a two-room, mud brick house with a grass roof and dirt floor. His father, Useni, a church minister, died when Fidel was a ­toddler. The horrors and instability of war in the Congo raged on and off from 1996 to 2003. After the outbreak of the First Congo War, Fidel fled with his family to Tanzania’s Nyarugusu <b>Refugee</b> Camp in 1996. They returned to DRC in 1999 but tragedy was not far away. In 2001, Fidel’s mother Debora died suddenly and, while Fidel will never know with certainty what happened, he suspects she was poisoned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“One morning, I left home and went to school and then I was told she was really sick. I went back home and found her vomiting blood,” he says. “In the hospital they tried to do a blood transfusion from me but it didn’t help her and she died. I don’t know for sure what happened to her but my conclusion is that she was poisoned. It was very sudden and it was very hard [to deal with]. She was the only person I was close with. When she died I was thinking, what’s next?” Fidel went to live with an older sister he prefers not to name as she still resides in DRC but only weeks later they were facing the rebels on the soccer field. The next day, ­terrified by his near-death ­experience, Fidel fled, orphaned and alone, at age 13, to Tanzania as a stowaway on a wooden <b>boat</b>. His sister decided to remain in DRC with her husband. He arrived at Kigoma, Tanzania, and, after several weeks begging and ­living on the streets, was taken to Mkugwa ­<b>refugee</b> camp. He was later reunited with another sister, Okanya Safi (“my ­second mother”), now 37, his brother Mike, now 28, and his then three-year-old (half) sister Gloria, now 20. His older brother Yoel, a soldier with the Mai-Mai, had gone missing and was never found, presumed dead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Five years later, Fidel, then 18, and his siblings left the camp, finally approved for resettlement. They arrived in Brisbane in 2005, a world away from all they had ever known. They have since all found their feet – Mike is an electrical engineer, Gloria is studying psychology at <span class="companylink">the University of Queensland</span> and Okanya Safi (to whom Fidel dedicates his novel) is a parent of two children. Fidel has a partner, Gypsey Tung, 29, a childcare worker, who he met at a wedding. She is also ­Congolese and lives in Melbourne.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fidel, who speaks Swahili, Kibembe, “a little French” and now fluent English, says he feels a responsibility to inform the world of the atrocities that happened – and still happen – in DRC. He has not returned but hopes to one day. “There is so much that happens in the Congo that not many people know about,” he says. “If we start talking about it, people will be aware. There are still many people being killed, including 80 in Beni [in DRC’s northeast] last year, but we don’t see it on TV news or in newspapers or anywhere. It’s an injustice. It would never be normal if that many people died in Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is my responsibility to start telling people this is happening. What I have achieved so far … it feels like it is not much. I want to help and to establish a school in Kazimia. Where I lived, I wasn’t able to get a good education. It was really basic. I’d love to be able to improve that. I also want to see a hospital there. Most of the time people would go from Congo to get medical treatment in Burundi.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fidel still remembers the terror he felt that day on the soccer field, the closeness of death. He remembers other things from his childhood too, and admits to having had his share of nightmares. “There were other children, people of all ages on the field that day,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The rebels had machetes, knives, rifles, AK47s … ­anything they could use to kill. They don’t really care. They will kill whoever they want and their fingers were on the triggers. Just one word and they would start shooting, just like that. There’s no way you can forget about it. When death comes that close to you … it was terrifying. The ­boxing ­aspect of the book is the idea of facing your fears, your ­demons and the things that you are battling with. For everyone who has gone through those kinds of things, you will have nightmares. These are the images that play in your head but you learn to suppress it down and as time goes by it fades away. This is a new life and a new place.” Fidel knows only too well how close he came to becoming “one of the statistics of my country”. There are varying estimates of up to 5.4 million people having been killed in DRC during the war and in the years after (from starvation and disease) of an estimated total population of 80 million.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I could have easily been one of those,” Fidel says. “But I lived. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe so I could come here and tell the world what’s happened in the Congo. It’s unfortunate for the people who died – it’s the cost of war. But it’s also what happens ­afterwards.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have to rebuild ourselves, educate ourselves, make changes, and I think I’m one of those people to make those changes.” Prize Fighter by Future D. Fidel (Hachette Australia, $30 PB), is published Tuesday. The book will be launched at Avid Reader, West End,on Wednesday.</p>

<span class="companylink">EU</span> debate on <b>asylum</b>-seekers begins to mirror Australian affairs</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All of a sudden, Australia doesn’t seem quite so far out on a limb with its treatment of <b>boat</b>-borne <b>asylum</b>-seekers. Among the Europeans, public opinion that once ran in favour of accommodating Middle Eastern and African refugees has turned sharply in favour closing the borders, culminating in their very own Tampa moment.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This happened two weeks ago when Italy’s Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini refused to let the humanitarian vessel Aquarius dock after it had plucked 629 people from the sea off Libya.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like John Howard in 2001, when the MV Tampa steamed into Australian waters with its cargo of 433 rescued boatpeople, Salvini stood his ground, putting into effect the shaky new populist government’s promise to crack down on unauthorised <b>boat</b> arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Aquarius finally made port in Spain, after Malta also denied it permission to berth. Facing slapdowns from France and the Vatican, Salvini, the leader of the nationalist League, was adamant the door would stay shut. Voters immediately rewarded the League with impressive gains in local elections, prompting him to exult: “Clearly, raising your voice — something Italy has not done for years — pays off.” The Tampa-Aquarius parallel is not the only sign that the tide has turned in Europe, sending it down a path that more closely resembles Australia’s hardline policy of <b>boat</b> turnbacks and offshore processing than the welcome mat that was rolled out in 2015-16 when the <b>refugee</b> flood from Syria added to the weight of people on the move from trouble spots such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">German Chancellor Angela Merkel , who set the tone by taking in 1.4 million <b>asylum</b>-seekers in the past three years, was nearly brought down this week after her coalition government split over <b>refugee</b> policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The day of reckoning still looms for Merkel, as she succeeded only in putting off for a fortnight the showdown with longstanding ally Horst Seehofer , the Interior Minister and chairman of the Bavarian sister party to her Christian Democratic Union. He has vowed to proceed with the plan she vetoed to start turning back <b>asylum</b>-seekers at the German border.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The drawbridge has also gone up in neighbouring Austria, which has bluntly told the <span class="companylink">EU</span> it will accept no more refugees. Hungary’s combative Prime Minister Viktor Orban openly derides Syrian <b>asylum</b>-seekers as “Muslim invaders” and has positioned himself as the continent’s most anti-migration leader by fortifying the border with Serbia with an electrified fence topped by razor wire. While Merkel suffered a near-death experience at last year’s German election, Orban romped home when Hungarians went to the polls in April.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After joining Sweden in re­introducing border controls, ultra-liberal Denmark this year drafted laws to confiscate refugees’ cash and belongings to cover the cost of hosting them. The Schengen Agreement, aimed at a borderless continent is now coming apart at the seams.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Britain’s impending exit from the <span class="companylink">EU</span> next March will exacerbate the crisis of confidence in the European project amid a surge in support for right-wing and anti-migration parties such as Marine Le Pen ’s National Rally in France, formerly the National Front. She embraced Salvini’s veto of the Aquarius, saying a “policy of firmness” was the only way to halt the mass arrivals by sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Donald Trump, meanwhile, is adamant that he will not be swayed from his election commitment to secure the Mexican border — despite the outcry joined by his wife, Melania, at the heart-rending scenes created by the separation of children from parents accused of illegally entering the US. The kids-in-cages revelations have shown that Trump’s “zero tolerance” policies have a morally challenging downside.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The intensifying debate in Europe echoes the deeply divisive discourse here over <b>boat</b> arrivals. Today’s Newspoll shows the Turnbull government has lost ground to Labor on the question of which side would be best at continuing to control the boats — traditionally a Coalition strength. This reflects the volatility of public opinion in this space, which can be traced back to the Tampa affair all those years ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The arrival of the packed Norwegian freighter off Christmas Island in August 2001 was ruthlessly exploited by Howard in the lead-up to the federal election, helping to sink Labor under Kim Beazley . It also provided grounds for the Coalition to bring in offshore processing through the so-called ­Pacific Solution whereby <b>asylum</b>-seekers arriving by <b>boat</b> were immediately sent to camps on Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cruel as it was to the detainees, it succeeded in halting the boats. But Labor scrapped the policy when Kevin Rudd became prime minister in 2007, creating a whole new set of political problems for the ALP when the traffic revived. Again, it played into the Coalition’s hands, this time for Tony Abbott . By then Rudd had been knifed by Julia Gillard , who tried unsuccessfully to revive offshore processing in East Timor and Malaysia. When Rudd exacted his revenge on her ahead of the 2013 election, he did a deal with PNG to hold and resettle detained boatpeople; Abbott as PM extended this to Nauru and ordered the navy to turn back boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull inherited a stable policy situation that endures: the people-smugglers, for now, are plying their monstrous trade elsewhere. But the humanitarian plight of those stranded on Nauru and Manus Island continues to plague both the government and the ALP, which under Bill Shorten is under pressure from the left to relax the tough stance on <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The suicide last week of a 26-year-old Iranian <b>asylum</b>-seeker on Nauru, the third detainee to take his own life there, a month after the death by his own hand of a Rohingya man on Manus Island, has brought the questions into sharper relief.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull insists the government is doing all it can to resettle in third countries those who have qualified as refugees, but bringing them to Australia is not an option. Shorten says he is against anyone being held in indefinite detention, but has hedged on what more Labor would do except to say in government he would pursue regional agreements including a resettlement offer from New Zea­land that was rejected by Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In that respect, the debate here is running ahead of Europe, where the continent has descended into ever deeper division over how to control porous <span class="companylink">EU</span> borders. This has some surprising dimensions. Under <span class="companylink">EU</span> law, migrants must apply for <b>asylum</b> in the first country they enter. But this places a heavy burden on nations such as Greece and Italy, which are first in the firing line for <b>asylum</b>-seekers arriving from the Middle East and North Africa respectively.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Eurosceptic Italian government is now leading the charge for reform of those laws ahead of a summit in Brussels later this month. The battle lines transcend the ideological considerations that dominate in Australia. Western Europe’s most significant anti-­establishment government come to power in March when young Italians voted in droves for the League under Salvini and the populist Five Star Movement. Struggling with a bleak job outlook that has been entrenched over the past decade, they backed the parties’ shared anti-immigration stand, laying bare a generation gap with older voters who kept faith with the status quo.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The youth revolt is spreading across Europe, up-ending preconceived notions about the hold progressive politics is supposed to exert on young voters. As ever, self-interest wins out. Almost 30 per cent of Italians aged 20 to 34 aren’t working, studying or in a training program, according to <span class="companylink">Eurostat</span> , more than in any other country in the <span class="companylink">EU</span> . Greece comes in next at 29 per cent while Spain’s rate is 21 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The frustration of young, typically well-educated Italians with the limited job prospects is voiced by Carlo Gaetani, a self-employed engineer in Puglia. Ten years ago, when he was in his early 20s, he voted for a mainstream centre-left party in the hope it would drive economic development in the country’s south. But he felt betrayed when Italy slipped into recession, leaving many of his friends unable to find work. His own opportunities are limited because, all too often, well-paid government commissions go to people with the connections he lacks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Italy is collapsing and yet nothing has changed in this country for at least 30 years,” he told The Wall Street Journal. “Five Star is our last hope. If they also fail, I think I will stop voting.” In Germany, opinion polls show that 61 per cent of the electorate wants <b>asylum</b>-seekers with an open <b>refugee</b> application in another <span class="companylink">EU</span> state to be turned back, a sobering reminder for Merkel as she fights for her political survival.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Although the influx to Germany has slowed — <b>asylum</b> requests dropped from 745,155 in 2016 to 22,560 last year — the public backlash has scrambled politics in what had been among Europe’s most stable countries, boosting support for anti-immigration populists, who cleaned up at the polls last year and look set to do even better in upcoming regional elections in Bavaria. The border province has been Germany’s front line in the <b>refugee</b> crisis, with <b>asylum</b>-seekers pouring in from neighbouring Austria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A Civey poll on Monday found that 71 per cent of voters in Bavaria would accept a breakdown of the governing coalition if Merkel continued to rebuff Seehofer’s Christian Social Union.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Urging him to back down, the Chancellor warned that a unilateral policy on <b>asylum</b>-seekers would split Europe and further strain relations with member states feeling the strain of the <b>refugee</b> crisis. Seehofer wasn’t having any of it. He reminded Merkel that it was her decision to open Germany’s borders, and she needed to take responsibility for the consequences. “We don’t have migration under control … people who are banned from entering Germany, as well as those who have applied for <b>asylum</b> or who are registered as <b>asylum</b>-seekers elsewhere in Europe, should be turned back at the border,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Merkel is to survive beyond the two-week reprieve offered by Monday’s uneasy truce, she must move swiftly to cut deals with other <span class="companylink">EU</span> countries to accept more refugees. At the very least, they must commit to the processing of <b>asylum</b> claims rather than putting freshly disembarked boatpeople on the next train to Germany, as the Italians have been accused of doing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The politics of <b>asylum</b> on the continent are becoming increasingly poisonous, mirroring Australia’s long and tortured journey through this minefield of public policy. But if it is sympathy or understanding the Europeans want, they won’t be getting it from their supposed ally in Washington.Fresh from his run-in with Merkel at the <span class="companylink">G7</span> summit, Trump seemed to relish her predicament, tweeting this week: “The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former Labor government presided over an estimated 1160 deaths at sea after it dismantled the Howard government’s Pacific Solution, which closed the maritime borders to <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to the Australian Parliamentary Library research paper, in the four years between 2008 and 2012 — under Labor governments — 51,798 ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers were allowed arrival into Australia aboard 848 boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These are staggering numbers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By the end of 2013, the armada had been stopped and just a single <b>boat</b> has arrived in Australia in the five years since.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has now become a case of “out of sight, out of mind” for voters, who appear to need constant reminding of what happened under Labor, if the Coalition wants to keep capitalising on it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A similar scenario played out under John Howard who was so successful at fixing a problem that it ceased to be something he could politicise for electoral benefit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It could be argued that Turnbull is now also a victim of the government’s success in arresting a rolling humanitarian disaster.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Peter Dutton long ago recognised that unless people are reminded, they quickly forget. He has barely drawn breath since on the issue. But this is an issue that needs the leader to own.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull talks tough, even borrowing from Howard’s song sheet, but it is rare that he talks on it at all.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten has been walking a tightrope, trying not to bleed votes to the Greens for supporting <b>boat</b> turnbacks while convincing those on the right — and the centre — that he will.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is not surprising that Turnbull’s lack of enthusiasm for taking up the cudgels on the issue (it was dramatically dumped from the election campaign two weeks in after Dutton was accused internally of over-reach) has resulted in a tightening in the trust deficit of the two leaders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Tony Abbott had three key policy platforms in 2013. Rescuing a mangled balance sheet was one of them. Boats and power were the other two.The unfavourable voter trends on both fundamental policy areas will send a sobering wake-up call to the Coalition partyroom that its electoral strengths cannot be taken for granted.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IT WAS just past 8am on Saturday and former prime minister John Howard was bounding around the room.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Hello, how are you?” his voice bellowed, bouncing off the walls as he shook hands with countless blue bloods, his energy and spirited remarks belying his 78 years.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Middle-aged men acting like gushy schoolgirls were keen to catch his attention at the breakfast held on the same weekend and at the same Sydney location as the Liberal Party’s 60th Federal Council.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After Howard’s 20-minute speech (he used no notes, which has mostly been his style), NSW MP Craig Kelly looked like he was in political nirvana. Kelly, his preselection under threat by moderates, was only one of a couple of backbenchers singled out in the room. That was an endorsement from Howard, and Kelly wanted everyone to know it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To say Howard is a Liberal Party hero is an understatement. Many Coalition parliamentarians adore him and do whatever they can to rub off any Howard magic.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some complain about Malcolm Turnbull not having Howard’s instincts, but many have political amnesia. Howard (pictured with Turnbull) didn’t step into The Lodge in 1996 and become prime ministerial. Yes, he won the election, but it took a while for him to convince the public he had what it takes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It took him a couple of terms to grow into the role. He learnt from political scandals as some in his team were felled by expense rorts and drama.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To become prime ministerial takes talent, experience, self belief, and some good luck.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A few hours later in another room, Turnbull addressed the party faithful. He too had a spring in his step.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Something has clicked for Turnbull in the past couple of months. Late last year he came across as a prime minister who looked sick and tired of the job – annoyed by his own scandals, Barnaby Joyce’s affair, citizenship dramas, and Tony Abbott, just to name a few.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet despite the fact he is down in the polls and the Coalition is unlikely to win any by-election (maybe Braddon, at a pinch), Turnbull has – as a long-time doubter privately said on the weekend – “his mojo back”. And the ministers and delegates from all over Australia were lapping him up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The energy and buzz were not the same when Treasurer Scott Morrison or Foreign Minister Julie Bishop addressed the love-in. The love was saved for Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is Turnbull’s second term – he is not yet prime ministerial, but he appears to be getting there. Turnbull is growing into the role.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It helps that he doesn’t have to keep looking over his shoulder for a knife in his back from colleagues, and that he has landed some significant social and economic policy outcomes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the past he seemed like a prime minister for philosophy – great in theory but not in practice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the 2016 election, he didn’t want to appear negative; he didn’t want to reveal and deepen divisions within Labor on <b>asylum</b>-seekers arriving by <b>boat</b>. He wanted to be above it all and try to have meaningful and long policy debates with the public.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He refused to accept voters would believe Labor’s misleading claim that the Government planned to sell Medicare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once bitten and now twice politically shy, Turnbull will not take the same chance at the next election – probably next year – when voters will see some mongrel in him. And many on his side are cheering.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He directly asked delegates to help him take it up to Bill Shorten. “Now, how do we deal with their lies? We all know that Labor got away with a lot of lies in the 2016 election,’’ Turnbull told the room. “They went out there and said the Government was going to sell Medicare – a preposterous and absurd allegation. It had some currency, as we know.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We now treat every Labor lie – every single one, no matter how absurd – as something that has to be categorically rebutted every single time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And we have to recognise that even the most outrageous lies will be believed by some people unless they are corrected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And of course, people hear that – you can bash those lies back. It is a bit like Whack-A-Mole because it won’t stop them telling another lie, but you just have to keep at it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We will not let them get away with those lies ever again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And we have to make sure that they don’t. That’s why it’s very important for all of us here, and every party member and supporter, to use all of the social media at your disposal. You may only have a few hundred people that are following you or that you can reach. Doesn’t matter.” Turnbull is clearly no Howard. But in the beginning, Howard was no Howard.With about a year until the next election, Turnbull still has a bit of time on his side to ingratiate his government with voters.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Brits are not afraid of bleakness. They voted for Brexit, after all.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And, intentionally or not, it's Brexit that hangs over the third and final season of The Tunnel, a show which is the very opposite of everything the Brexiters stood for - European union.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A British-French co-production, The Tunnel is based on the Swedish-Danish crime drama The Bridge and it's one of the strongest, and most underrated, crime dramas produced in Britain in years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And while they owe the Scandis for the concept - two countries are forced together when a crime is committed on their border - the British and French (the Brench? The Fritish?) have made this their own.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And that's thanks to the show's two leads - Stephen Dillane and Clemence Poesy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, it has the requisite over-the-top murders that every crime show needs, but for me The Tunnel's real draw is the relationship between these two.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not romantic - and nor will it ever be - and it doesn't carry a father-daughter vibe, it's two very different people who have found a respectful, caring and intelligent way to work together while navigating personal tragedies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As DCI Karl Roebuck, Dillane has turned what could have been a cliche - a philandering cop with a heart of gold - into a character so warm and understated you're on his side from the word go. There's nothing showy about him and his very dry British humour gives the show the light it occasionally needs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Poesy, meanwhile, has given her Captain Elise Wassermann dignity where she could have been turned into a sideshow (Wassermann has Aspergers traits, which makes it difficult for her to register emotion and social conventions). She has no interest in inching her way to answers - it's blunt or nothing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They bicker, they joke (well, Karl does) and they look out for each other. It's a relief to not be second-guessing the relationship between two leads of the opposite sex.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The shadow of Brexit does loom large over this season - the <b>refugee</b> crisis is building in Britain and France, children are trafficked and resentment on the right is growing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Karl and Elise are reunited when a burning French fishing <b>boat</b> is discovered in British waters. When they discover that three Syrian children are missing from the <b>boat</b>, fears about child trafficking grow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, a gas mask washes up on a beach in Kent, a colony of rats swarm a worker in the Channel Tunnel and a call-centre worker is fired after his <span class="companylink">YouTube</span> videos go viral.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's all very knotty - and a lot doesn't start to click until episode three, which ramps up the tension to hug-your-knees levels - but it is a smart examination of a very modern problem - how to handle those fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria and Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not just a physical problem, either - as in where do they live, how do they make a living - it's a mental health problem, too. How do we help those who have endured unimaginable suffering in war, such as the loss of the child or a family? Those wounds aren't so easily seen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You don't need to have watched the previous two seasons of The Tunnel to pick up the show's threads. There are enough breadcrumbs left to fill in the gaps. It's a shame this is the show's final season. Grim crime dramas may be a dime a dozen these days, but very few of them come with the intelligence of The Tunnel. LR</p>

Our resolve to advocate for the end of needlessly punitive, even inhuman, treatment of desperate and vulnerable people has been reinforced by fresh evidence of neglect and cruelty.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A report by the Public Interest Advocacy Centre - a mainly government-funded organisation that seeks to improve community access to justice, ameliorate social problems and reduce disadvantage - says there has been "routine denial" of antiviral treatment to people in immigration detention in Australia.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">People with hepatitis C have been blocked from readily available and effective treatment of this life-threatening virus. That is a disgrace, and is utterly unworthy of a nation that claims to value fairness and decency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The report, In Poor Health: Health Care in Australian Immigration Detention, also admonishes the federal government for dishonouring its common-law duty of care. It records "failure to properly physically and psychologically treat suicidal <b>asylum</b> seekers". It decries the overuse of handcuffs and mechanical constraints, particularly on mentally unwell people. It describes a "legislative vacuum"; in contrast to laws governing state prisons, the federal Migration Act fails to mandate the right to reasonable medical care in immigration detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Insufficient medical care for people seeking <b>asylum</b> is but the latest in a litany of shabby behaviour of governments of both hues. It was an ALP prime minister, Paul Keating , who established mandatory detention. It was Liberal prime minister John Howard who did the deal to dump desperate people in sub-standard offshore camps. It was an ALP prime minister, Kevin Rudd, who instigated the policy that those who arrive by <b>boat</b> will be held in mandatory detention and will never be allowed to settle in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Coalition governments have continued to make the false claim that <b>boat</b> arrivals, which account for a small fraction of people seeking <b>asylum</b>, are illegal. It is legal, under international rules of which Australia was a founding signatory, for people to seek protection, no matter how they arrive. As many as nine in 10 of the relatively small number of people who arrive by <b>boat</b> are found to be genuine refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The current government is ending Status Resolution Support Services for thousands of people on bridging visas, to come into effect in 2018. The program provides about $35 a day, case management support and access to trauma and torture counselling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our lawmakers claim to be motivated by preventing people from dying at sea. That is a just aim, but it is insufficient to justify persecuting and harming innocent children, woman and men by denying them support within the community, medical aid while in detention, and allowing them to languish without hope on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While <b>asylum</b> seeker policy is a hugely complex area, what's not complex is the basic human right to be treated with dignity and be allowed to have access to basic medical services.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After making the dangerous border crossing into Russian-­occupied Austria, avoiding landmines and guard dogs, Chromy and his friends planned to board a train for Vienna and eventually reach US-occupied Salzburg. Both of his companions were captured while trying to board the train, and later were returned to Czechoslovakia and imprisoned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chromy evaded capture by travelling on a different train.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I managed to board a train that was headed for Vienna, but we still had to pass through Russian-occupied Austria. On the train, the conductor was walking through the carriage checking tickets. I was terrified that he would ask me something and ­because I only spoke Czech, he would realise I was escaping and would report me to the Russian soldiers and I would be arrested or possibly shot,” Chromy says. “I quickly decided to leave my ticket in my top pocket and pretended to be asleep. I was hoping he would punch the ticket and keep moving but he prods me and wakes me. Scared at what might happen if I am discovered, I pretended I was deaf and dumb and moan and dribble and wave my hands around. He looked quite shocked, so he punched my ticket and kept going. I believe this quick thinking saved my life. I arrived in Vienna safely. It teaches me to always have a backup plan, in life and in business.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once safely in Salzburg, Chromy was granted <b>refugee</b> status but only spent 10 days in a <b>refugee</b> camp before being told he had to leave. He spent roughly five months fending for himself and scrounging meals wherever he could before eventually ­migrating to Australia in 1951 to start a new life on the North-West Coast at the age of just 20. He says the harsh years in Czechoslovakia and Austria had left him prepared for anything with the resilience to weather whatever life threw at him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I did know one Czech man who I met on the <b>boat</b> and later on I got to know another <b>refugee</b>, Milan Vyhnalek, who founded the cheesemaking factory Lactos. However, there was no help coming from [other] refugees as everyone was busy looking after themselves.” He managed to get a job in Railton at the Goliath Cement factory, working with asbestos. “When I was at Goliath, my accommodation was a 4½m x 3½m shed with another immigrant. My bed was a farm gate with hessian bags stuffed with straw. We later found out the dangers of working with asbestos. I was very happy to have work. Sadly, my friend I shared the shed with died of mesothelioma many years later. I was very lucky that I did not suffer the same fate.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He then had several different jobsin the North-West, gaining experience in butcher shops, smallgoods and ham and bacon production. “So when I was ready to start my own business the help came from the locals, namely the Field family, who owned a butcher shop in Quadrant Mall in Launceston, and the Oliver family of Railton who provided me with a loan for setting up my first butcher shop in Burnie.” It wasn’t all smooth sailing in the early days of running his own businesses. In 1953, one of his first enterprises, Prague Meats, failed after three months. At the time he cited, “lack of capital, limited English and no wife to look after me,” as reasons behind its demise. At this point he says: “I was very unhappy, but I made sure all my creditors were paid.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the disappointment of Prague Meats, however, things soon turned around. “The owner of the Dutch butcher shop [in Penguin] had asked me to come back and work for him again,” Chromy says. “It wasn’t long before he made me the production manager. It was here, in 1953, I met my beautiful Alida, a Dutch girl. However, I didn’t speak Dutch and she didn’t speak Czech, but we fell in love and learned English together. We married in 1954.” In 1957 Chromy opened his own European-style butcher shop in Burnie, eventually giving it the name Blue Ribbon Meat Products, a name which went on to become synonymous with the Tasmanian meat industry. Blue Ribbon expanded steadily, Chromy opening more shop fronts and distribution centres, buying farms and abattoirs, and absorbing other meat businesses. After consolidating Blue Ribbon’s operations in Launceston, Chromy moved there to live in 1984.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chromy floated Blue Ribbon on the stock exchange in 1993, which enabled him to form his group of companies, the JAC Group, and expand into what he could see was the next up-and-coming industry in Tasmania: wine.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chromy believed the state’s fledgling wine industry had great potential but many operators were undercapitalised and were struggling to attain the economy of scale required to be viable. So he set about acquiring vineyards and wineries – including Heemskerk (starting to produce the now famous Jansz sparkling), Rochecombe and Buchanan vineyards – and using his considerable business experience to strengthen and expand them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1998 Chromy sold the reinvigorated Heemskerk Wine Group to Pipers Brook, and invested the sale profits in building his own vineyard and winery from the ground up, Tamar Ridge Wines at Kayena. By 2003 Tamar Ridge was a thriving and award-winning winery, and Chromy sold it to <span class="companylink">Gunns Ltd</span>, this sale once more allowing him to move on to his next project: Josef Chromy Wines at Relbia on the outskirts of Launceston.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With 61ha of vineyard, a winery, a restaurant and cellar door, Josef Chromy Wines has become something of a cultural landmark in Launceston, even hosting A Day on the Green concerts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even as he was developing his wine interests in the late 1990s, Chromy had begun investing in various significant properties around Tasmania, including Launceston’s Customs House, Trinity House in Hobart (which he no longer owns), the former JAC Group office on Elphin Rd, originally built in the 1890s, and other commercial properties in northern Tasmania.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2008 he bought the old Launceston General Hospital on Charles St and converted it into a hotel, restaurant and luxury apartments. A few years later in Hobart he acquired the former Bureau of Meteorology Building in Battery Point and converted it into a luxury apartment building. The almost-forgotten Penny Royal site in Launceston soon followed and was also reinvigorated, and the Gorge Hotel proposal is a sure sign Chromy has no intention of resting on his laurels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But for all his success, Chromy is no stranger to great loss. “My amazing wife Alida suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, which took her from me in May 2010, after 55 years of marriage. It was a huge loss and Alida was my biggest supporter and the love of my life. Our only child, our daughter Margaret passed away from cancer a few years ago,” Chromy says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He did see his parents again after fleeing Czechoslovakia. In 1968, 18 years after Chromy escaped, they flew to Australia. It was a warm reunion but tinged with sadness. “They were leaving to go back home from Sydney airport on August 20, 1968 – the day Soviet armies invaded ­Czechoslovakia,” Chromy says. “I still have a photo of my father sitting in an airport lounge in ­Sydney reading the [newspaper] with the whole front page ­informing about the Soviet invasion. I urged them not to go back, to stay with me, but they wanted to return to our homeland and their family.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I never saw my father after that, as he passed away in 1969. My mother never came to Australia again but I saw her on several occasions during my subsequent visits to Europe before she passed away in 1985. I still have very strong ties to my home country. I still ­remember my first trip back to Czechoslovakia in 1970, which was still under the communist rule at the time. You have to understand that I was considered a criminal by the authorities for illegally crossing the border back in 1950. So 20 years later, despite receiving all the proper documents allowing me, as an Australian, to travel to Czechoslovakia, before crossing the border I was still wondering whether I would be arrested or not. I wasn’t.” Chromy has kept his family close in his business. His grandson Dean Cocker is managing director of the JAC Group, his grand-nephew Petr Kriz is an executive director focusing mainly on land development operations, another grand-nephew Jan Pesl is a business development manager, and his third grand-­nephew Pavel Cernik takes care of the company’s IT.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chromy retired as chairman in 2011 but remains directly ­involved with the company as founding director. Chromy and his businesses have won accolades and awards, and in 1997 he was awarded the Medal (OAM) of the Order of Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But he maintains one of his proudest moments was being invited to lunch with the Queen during her visit to Tasmania in March, 2000, along with eight other prominent Tasmanians, ­including cricketer Ricky Ponting and then-premier Jim Bacon.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We did have a good conversation, as it was a very private setting. I still owned Tamar Ridge Wines at the time, so my conversation with the Queen was mainly about Tasmanian wine.”At 87, Chromy acknowledges he probably should be easing up, but mentally he’s as alert as ever. “My mind is always full of ideas and I will keep on contributing. I enjoy both working and taking time for holidays, but my work is always foremost in my mind. I would not be able to do this today without the support of my chairman, directors and my loyal staff and I am pleased that I was able to turn my childhood dreams into a reality.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull plans to issue, on behalf of all Australians, a national apology to survivors and victims of institutional sexual abuse, and to their families, on October 22. He has begun a process of consultation about what form that apology will take.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There will be some who will wonder why the Commonwealth ought to be manning up for the blame, when, so far as the royal commission seemed concerned, the lion's share of the abuse occurred in religious institutions, schools and orphanages, in sporting clubs and bodies like the scouts, or in state-based institutions. There's a point in that, even if it ought to be natural for the Commonwealth to be taking a leadership role in addressing a national problem and a national shame.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's of course assuming that it really wants to be a moral leader on such matters. If it really did, he might also be drafting one to the children of <b>boat</b> people - and their parents - to save a future prime minister the trouble.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sexual abuse of juveniles has occurred in institutions under Commonwealth control, such as at defence with army cadets. But the moral challenge seems to be doing anything to help make up for the sexual abuse of children, implicitly non-Australian, under the care and control of the Department of Home Affairs. Children here in Australia, or in centres overseas under the effective control of immigration officials, private contractors they have engaged, or the two-bob nations whose officials, and sovereignties, they have suborned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On paper, the movement towards a national redress scheme appears to be going swimmingly, with the states and territories now on board, and most of the church and social institutions seeming to have signed up. The advantage of an institution being signed up is central management of a compensation and rehabilitation scheme, planned as one without undue bureaucracy, fuss or delay. Survivors will still be able to sue bodies that have not signed up through the courts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there are still problems ahead. The Catholic Church may have signed up, but it is far from clear that three of the church bodies most associated with the abuse reported by the commission are yet on board. The Christian Brothers, the <span class="companylink">Marist Brothers</span> and the de la Salle Brothers have not yet committed to the scheme, even if abuse in schools and institutions under their control may prove to provide a majority of cases involving Catholic institutions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The problem is that, as ever, there is no such legal entity as the Catholic Church, and certainly not one able or likely to take financial responsibility for all misfeasance or criminal behaviour by church servants. Many of the religious orders have their own legal assets, corporate status and canon law governance arrangements, and have not been subject to control by an Australian Catholic central authority. And each diocese, with its own bishop or archbishop is a fiefdom independent of other dioceses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hiding ownership and control behind a plethora of devolved companies, trusts, committees and "legal persons" - none of whose assets, powers and functions, was publicly accountable - was abused in the past by some dioceses and religious orders, to avoid liability. The scandal this caused led to more- open arrangements and ceasing to use artificial obstacles to avoid liability. But it has not simplified questions of control.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From the time the commission was called, it became clear that the bishops had, individually and collectively, so mismanaged cases of sexual abuse that they could only further damage their own, and the church's reputation, by running the church's response to question. Through Francis Sullivan the church was able to admit what had seemed obvious to all observers - that all too often, the bishops and others in authority had reacted to allegations by cover-up, failing to properly investigate, and acting to protect church property rather than to protect or help victims. When bishops did appear, they insisted (not always convincingly) that they, and the bodies under their control now "got it".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has not seemed obvious in the aftermath of the commission's report. The church was publicly scourged and forced to admit - sometimes even volunteer its poor stewardship. There has been some movement in addressing recommendations about redress to victims. What has not been seen is any evidence that a humbled and chastened episcopate is seriously addressing issues of its governance, accountability to its base, or the embarrassment, shame and disgust caused by the personal failings of individual bishops. The commission made some "impertinent" comments about how the church might reform itself, but there is very little evidence of any serious intention of considering them other than in the abstract. The Vatican has evinced no interest (and given no example); and most of the Catholic bishops are past masters at appearing to take everything on board without the slightest intention of doing a thing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What ought to be giving them some pause is the result of the abortion referendum in Ireland, which has faced similar scandals of abuse over recent years. A few years ago, the church was shocked by a resounding Yes vote to the question of same-sex marriage, but, since marriage as opposed to matrimony is essentially a matter for the state, not the church, it might have been able to be dismissed as a mere sign of annoyance by the laity in one of the most Catholic nations of the world. But the formal position of the Catholic Church on abortion was unequivocal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It would be a brave observer who could point to reasons why Australian Catholics were not as scathing about the stewards of the church in Australia - still so much of Irish flavour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The bishops should also be contemplating the example of Chile, where all the bishops have resigned, in part because their own poor stewardship caused major public scandal, and direct embarrassment to the Pope, who says that he was misled about the state of affairs. The Pope has so far accepted only a few resignations, but he has failed to confirm most in their positions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But one can hope that Catholics can ultimately be shamed into getting their house in order, as least as far as justice to victims of child sex abuse is concerned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By contrast, the Department of Home Affairs appears, as ever, without shame. And government, which has its own political reasons for reminding everyone how indifferent it is to the human rights or dignity of <b>boat</b> people, might be prepared to make justice a matter of only secondary importance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The initial response of government to the commission said that redress would be available only to Australian residents - perhaps only to Australian citizens - and only for abuse within Australia. Under some pressure it has seemed to allow for children abused in detention in Australia but has yet to provide for victims of abuse in its concentration camps in Nauru and Manus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is contrary to the recommendations of the commission, but has been piously argued on the basis that it is necessary to prevent fraud by aliens, or on the quite spurious grounds that if any sexual abuse occurred, victims should look to either the governments of Nauru (where most of the children now are) or PNG (which at one stage had some of the children).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has also been argued that non-citizens, particularly <b>boat</b> people, should be excluded, whether simply to save money, or as a part of the general policy of being as obviously cruel to uninvited visitors as possible, both so as to increase deterrence and to appease an anti-<b>boat</b>-people electorate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More recently, Mike Pezzullo, head of Home Affairs, has insisted that his department made some provision for possible liability for children abused in Australia, but not for those in overseas detention centre. Not one cent of the money in his detention centre budget (which amounts to about $550,000 per detainee, man, woman and child) would go to redress, he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is not that the commission was very curious about the sexual abuse of <b>asylum</b> seekers, here or abroad. It was one thing on which virtually the only evidence taken was from Immigration bureaucrats, or "independent consultants" on its payroll. But it did not doubt that abuse in detention centres was rife.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Vulnerability to child sexual abuse is likely to be accentuated for many children in immigration detention," its report said. "Reasons for this include that the children are likely to have experienced abuse and trauma previously, acquire trauma in the detention environment and experience high levels of social isolation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"A further reason is the likelihood that the ability of parents to provide comfort and support to their children is compromised by the detention environment. Before their detention, some children have experienced extreme events, including war crimes and sexual violence. Relatively high numbers of children in immigration detention are also 'unaccompanied' and lack parental or extended family support while in detention. Many of these children are suffering a profound sense of loss and grief following the death of their parents and other family members."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was a week that saw yet another report accusing the Australian government, and its bureaucrats, of being in breach of criminal provisions of international law in relation to its more general detention centre arrangements. Julian Burnside, QC - a person automatically dismissed by government as a mere advocate, and thus to be entirely disbelieved, says our policy of mandatory indefinite detention on Nauru and Manus meets all of the elements of a crime against humanity, even under the Australian Criminal Coder. But, he says, there is no prospect of a prosecution; it has to be approved by the Attorney-General.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His legal opinion adds to the view of <span class="companylink">Amnesty International</span>, which believes that our processing of <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru is a deliberate and systematic regime for neglect and cruelty and amounts to torture under international law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government continues to defend its deliberate cruelty to one group of people by claiming that it deters others from setting off by sea, and possibly drowning. And, even five years on, Australians are denied knowledge of how Australian repels boats and other such "on-water" matters, lest it give tactical help to people smugglers give. Just the same sort of compulsive secrecy, often from just the same people, has helped keep secret too long indications of serious war crimes by Australians in Afghanistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There's no doubt that the policies are popular, now. But history will not be kind.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A day will come - perhaps 20 years hence - when the children of today will be repulsed by and ashamed of what their parents did and will be asking sharp questions of how it came to be.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even assuming the perpetrators destroy documents and seek to conceal their identities, it is likely that the full shameful and shabby story will ultimately emerge, and the reputations of most of Australia's present political generation will be trashed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And a new prime minister, not compromised by his, or her, own involvement in such matters, will be calling a commission of inquiry, and drafting the latest official apology.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was 13 when rebel soldiers corralled him at gunpoint among a group of villagers on a soccer field after he had tried to hide under a bed. Future D. Fidel was born in Uvira on the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika in the Congo. It was there that he would fish with his friends, but it was in Kazimia, the village further south where his surviving family had relocated, that he faced death.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fidel had dreams of becoming an engineer in the central African nation, dreams that in Australia would turn to acting and playwriting, out of which would grow his first novel, Prize Fighter. "We were about to be killed, about to be shot on the field," recalls the now 30-year-old, sitting in a Brisbane theatre foyer, wearing a blue coat, his head shaved. "But then the rebels started arguing and told us to go home."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fidel had seen rebels parading decapitated heads on spears, and mass graves. When he was three, his father, Useni, a Methodist-style minister who had taken his wife and children town to town preaching the gospel to bring people to Christ, had been murdered. Jealous church rivals reportedly poisoned him. Fidel has no memory of his father, nor a photograph of him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A decade later, Fidel - his middle initial stands for Destiny - had dashed from school to the hospital where his mother, Debora, was vomiting blood, having been in good health the night before. His attempt to donate blood for transfusion in the equipment-starved and understaffed facility was in vain. She died soon after. "My mind was thinking, maybe it was poison [too]," Fidel recalls now. The cause was never confirmed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After his narrow escape, Fidel fled the Congo, stowing away on a <b>boat</b> to Tanzania, the second time he had sought sanctuary there - but on this occasion without family. He spent eight years in <b>refugee</b> camps, and was reunited with his older sister Okanya, who became his second mother.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prize Fighter is dedicated to Okanya, who gave him "a second chance of this life".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The siblings' acceptance for resettlement alongside another brother and sister came from a country Fidel had not chosen and about which he had known little: Fidel had thought all the people who lived in Australia were white.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fidel opened a vein several years ago at the Brisbane Powerhouse when he told his story on stage as one of five African-born performers in a play called I'm Here. But his life is not the subject of Prize Fighter. The novel began as a play, and throughout it he tactfully avoids naming the nationalities or ethnic origins of rebel soldiers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are certainly autobiographical touchstones in his debut, narrated by the fictional Isa (pronounced ee-sah), born in Kazimia. Isa dreams of being an engineer who will build bridges; he too fishes and plays soccer. Both Isa's parents, who belong to the same church as Fidel's parents, are brutally dispatched.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Aged 10, Isa is kidnapped and becomes a child soldier, eventually stowing away, like the author, on a <b>boat</b> - in Isa's case, to the safety of Kenya - before being accepted by Australia, where he becomes a boxing champion. Fidel, who is of average height and build, has never boxed, nor was he ever a child soldier; boxing is the author's metaphor for fighting the worst instincts in humanity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2013, Fidel began writing I'm Here, which was staged In Brisbane by La Boite Theatre Company before touring last year to Sydney's Belvoir Street Theatre. A revival tour, taking in Darwin, Newcastle and Geelong, begins in August. The play shifts back and forth between the brutality of life in the Congo and a Brisbane boxing ring, offering audiences temporary relief from deadly conflict with unexpected bursts of humour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The book, however, quickly plunges the reader into confronting violence and, chronologically recounted in the first person, there is little respite. In chapter three, Isa sees his parents and sister murdered; in chapter four, he is taught to kill and destroy everything his parents had built; soon Isa, too, is raping and killing and exhorting other children to do the same.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, Fidel lives in Ipswich. Given his Christian faith follows that of his parents, does he see God in those moments of extreme human suffering? "I like to think, like that old saying, everything happens for a reason," he says, in a deep, mellifluous voice. Fidel chuckles often, perhaps an antidote to his dire early life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If those people who were trying to kill me didn't hold a gun, I wouldn't have run away. And if I didn't run away, I wouldn't have gone to the <b>refugee</b> camp. And if I didn't go to the <b>refugee</b> camp, I wouldn't be in Australia. And if I didn't come to Australia, I wouldn't have written Prize Fighter ...</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We have to help others, once we get somewhere. Maybe we'll make Congo a better place. They'll see the joy and the peace we are living in."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Fidel applied to the United Nations for resettlement, he was asked, as all applicants in the Congo are asked: "Have you killed?" The answer was no, but he had known child soldiers in Uvira and Kazimia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Being a child soldier in the Congo was sort of like a game, you know?" he says. "At the time I was in primary school, and most of my friends were carrying guns. They were like, 'Hey, it's cool', and every morning they would go marching on the streets."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Children were recruited to fight rebels, but both sides committed atrocities. Witchcraft ceremonies imbued child soldiers with notions of invincibility, coupled with the ever-present threat they too could be murdered when no longer useful. "They brainwashed them. They started raping girls and robbing people."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Writing Prize Fighter, which Fidel composed in English rather than his first language of Swahili, would prove traumatic. "Sometimes when I was writing I would stop and a tear would fall. I'd have to step aside and stay out of it for a second and think, 'This is a story I'm trying to tell people; it's fictional, but there's true things'. It was very confronting at some points."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, having lived in Australia for 12 years, Fidel loves his life in Queensland, although he'd prefer to have his Congolese girlfriend, who works in childcare in Melbourne, living beside him. Having studied engineering at <span class="companylink">Griffith University</span>, he began acting on the side, making short films and forming the Fimbo Boys troupe in 2007, performing African modern dance and music at events.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His next play, Belle Epoque, is in development with Melbourne's Malthouse Theatre. Beginning in the time of King Leopold II of Belgium (the Congo was a Belgian colony between 1908 and 1960) and continuing through to the present day, it deals with the fights over Congo-sourced minerals such as coltan and cobalt, both used in electronic devices.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fidel believes few westerners know that Congo has lost more than 5.5 million people since the start of the war in 1996 because self-interested parties exploiting the country's natural resources have a vested interest in downplaying the carnage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Some people don't want other people to know because there's a lot of money at stake," he says. "Congo is one of the richest [resource] countries in the world but at the same time, it's one of the poorest countries in the world because there's no infrastructure, there's no medicine.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If people can dig whatever they want to dig out and export, of course if they kill people they're not going to let anybody know. Coltan, which is the hot topic at the moment, going through cellphones, Congo has 64 per cent of the world's coltan. People are not going to change things if that's where their money is coming from.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Congo also has 60 per cent of the world's cobalt, which is the next big thing, with electric cars, and they're going to get that. If the government still isn't stable, a lot of people are going to die in the process."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fidel returned to Tanzania in 2015, writing, directing and editing an hour-long film called Red Flag, released last year. It is the story of a love triangle, in which Fidel plays a small part. He hopes to write and direct more films in future, and plans one day to return to the Congo for a visit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prize Fighter is published later this month by Hachette.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ANOTHER THING</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Future D. Fidel honours his Christian beliefs through gospel singing, mostly performed in rap verse he has written.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A public admirer of Australia's hardline "stop the boats" policy, Salvini says he wants to save Italy from being overrun by migrants, hence his closure of Italian ports to the Aquarius, the charity ship carrying 629 African refugees that will soon be welcomed in Valencia, Spain.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An Italian warship, the Diciotti, was, however, taking 937 refugees it saved off the Libyan coast to Sicily on Tuesday without incident.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This indicated that Salvini's first salvo was aimed at the French-based non-governmental organisation SOS Mediterranee, owner of the Aquarius. This may have prompted the trenchant criticism of the stoppage by French President Emmanuel Macron, who blasted the move as "cynical and irresponsible".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There have been accusations from the right-wing press close to Salvini that some rescue organisations with ships in the Mediterranean are linked to people smugglers and others who profit from the migrant traffic.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Italian magistrates have been investigating these charges for a year. The groups deny all such allegations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Democratic Party, which governed Italy before the March 4 elections, criticised Salvini's gesture as anti-humanitarian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, much of the Italian media has praised him for "breaking Italy's isolation". Many Italians feel they have been let down by other members of the <span class="companylink">European Union</span> which have not accepted refugees stuck in Italy as promised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Italy has taken in just over 4 million migrants in the past 16 years, and more than 640,000 mainly African migrants over the past five years alone. They now make up 8.5 per cent of the population but produce almost 9 per cent of GDP. Their contributions are crucial to the welfare system and they compensate for Italy's low birthrate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For years Italy has acted on the principle that if anyone is in danger at sea, they must be saved. But it has done little for the refugees on arrival. No SBS-like broadcaster has been established to help their integration. It takes more than 30 months for the Italian bureaucracy to decide whether they are legitimate refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The right-wing press has conducted scare campaigns about an "ethnic replacement" allegedly sought by leftists who desire the migrant vote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 500,000 undocumented migrants are easy prey for the underworld which uses some as drug pushers. Others work as agricultural labourers treated no better than slaves. And the poorest Italians often compete with migrants for housing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Salvini says he is opposed only to undocumented migrants but he has an image as a bruiser, threatening to bulldoze <b>refugee</b> camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He promised to expel the 500,000 but to do this Italy has to know where they come from (many refuse to declare this) and have an agreement with their country of origin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On election, Salvini said Tunisia sent "too many criminals" to Italy, causing a diplomatic flurry with one of the few African countries willing to take back its unwanted citizens.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Tunnel: Vengeance ABC, Friday, 10pm</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Brits are not afraid of bleakness. They voted for Brexit, after all.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And, intentionally or not, it's Brexit that hangs over the third and final season of The Tunnel, a show which is the very opposite of everything the Brexiters stood for - European union.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A British-French co-production, The Tunnel is based on the Swedish-Danish crime drama The Bridge and it's one of the strongest, and most underrated, crime dramas produced in Britain in years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And while they owe the Scandis for the concept - two countries are forced together when a crime is committed on their border - the British and French (the Brench? The Fritish?) have made this their own.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And that's thanks to the show's two leads - Stephen Dillane and Clemence Poesy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, it has the requisite over-the-top murders that every crime show needs, but for me The Tunnel's real draw is the relationship between these two.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not romantic - and nor will it ever be - and it doesn't carry a father-daughter vibe, it's two very different people who have found a respectful, caring and intelligent way to work together while navigating personal tragedies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As DCI Karl Roebuck, Dillane has turned what could have been a cliche - a philandering cop with a heart of gold - into a character so warm and understated you're on his side from the word go. There's nothing showy about him and his very dry British humour gives the show the light it occasionally needs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Poesy, meanwhile, has given her Captain Elise Wassermann dignity where she could have been turned into a sideshow (Wassermann has Aspergers traits, which makes it difficult for her to register emotion and social conventions). She has no interest in inching her way to answers - it's blunt or nothing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They bicker, they joke (well, Karl does) and they look out for each other. It's a relief to not be second-guessing the relationship between two leads of the opposite sex.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The shadow of Brexit does loom large over this season - the <b>refugee</b> crisis is building in Britain and France, children are trafficked and resentment on the right is growing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Karl and Elise are reunited when a burning French fishing <b>boat</b> is discovered in British waters. When they discover that three Syrian children are missing from the <b>boat</b>, fears about child trafficking grow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, a gas mask washes up on a beach in Kent, a colony of rats swarm a worker in the Channel Tunnel and a call-centre worker is fired after his <span class="companylink">YouTube</span> videos go viral.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's all very knotty - and a lot doesn't start to click until episode three, which ramps up the tension to hug-your-knees levels - but it is a smart examination of a very modern problem - how to handle those fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria and Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not just a physical problem, either - as in where do they live, how do they make a living - it's a mental health problem, too. How do we help those who have endured unimaginable suffering in war, such as the loss of the child or a family? Those wounds aren't so easily seen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You don't need to have watched the previous two seasons of The Tunnel to pick up the show's threads. There are enough breadcrumbs left to fill in the gaps. It's a shame this is the show's final season. Grim crime dramas may be a dime a dozen these days, but very few of them come with the intelligence of The Tunnel. LR</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A new film on our border policies pulls no punches, writes Karl Quinn.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The top politicians in this country are guilty of major criminal offences but are unlikely ever to be tried, says lawyer Julian Burnside.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I think it's pretty clear that Australian prime ministers and immigration ministers are guilty of criminal offences against our own law," says the Melbourne-based QC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The problem is that no one can bring a prosecution for those offences without the approval of the Attorney-General. Take a lucky guess what the Attorney-General would say."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The offences he has in mind involve the treatment of refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers - deliberate and unnecessary cruelty that amounts, he argues in the documentary Border Politics, to torture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since 2002, Australia has been a signature member of the <span class="companylink">International Criminal Court</span>, and as a result, he explains, "there is a series of offences [in Australian law] that mirror the offences over which the ICC has jurisdiction".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was compulsory for Australia to introduce those laws, and some were well overdue. "Until then, believe it or not, genocide was not an offence under Australian criminal law," he says. "But it is now."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Border Politics, which is getting a limited release nationally, Burnside - who says he does not enjoy travel - roams the world to see how our treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers stacks up. The short answer: terribly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The way we are seen overseas is really worrying," he says. "It's vaguely embarrassing to be in another country and disclose that you're Australian. It's like, I guess, being in another country and disclosing you're American, because of Trump."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He traces the root of this systematic abuse of people to 9/11.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Genuine tragedy though it was, it has been ruthlessly exploited ever since by politicians on both sides of the divide to whip up anti-<b>refugee</b> hysteria, and to depict those seeking <b>asylum</b> as somehow inherently criminal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the laws to which Australia is a signatory, they are not. But, arguably, our political leaders are.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Surely the politicians would say that they are only reflecting the</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">will of the people they serve?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That's right," Burnside says. "That's the Jim Hacker approach to leading the country, when he said in Yes, Prime Minister, 'I'm their leader, I must follow them'. And that is exactly what we've seen in recent years in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Since the Tampa episode, the Coalition has repeatedly called <b>boat</b> people 'illegal' even though they don't commit an offence [in coming here as refugees by <b>boat</b>], and they call the exercise of pushing them away 'border protection'.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"So I think the majority of the public think that we are being protected from criminals, which, if it was true, would make sense.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But it's false. The public has been persuaded to go along with dreadful mistreatment of people who are innocent and who are, almost all of them, genuine refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I think that's terrible. Deceiving the country into doing very bad things to innocent people is something this country shouldn't do. And it's absolutely meaningless to try and find out what the public think about it because the 'it' is something about which they have been misled for so long," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Border Politics debuted at last month's Human Rights and Arts Film Festival, where it preached to the converted. But, Burnside readily admits, the ideal audience as it plays more broadly is something else entirely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"People who disagree with me," he says. "I'll be doing some Q&A sessions after screenings and I reckon people who disagree with me should come along and challenge my views.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If they're so confident that it's right to mistreat innocent people, let them come along and explain why and challenge me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Unless you're someone who thinks mistreatment of innocent people is OK, I think the case for proper treatment of <b>boat</b> people is overwhelmingly strong," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"And I'm perfectly happy to be challenged on that."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Judy Rymer’s documentary Border Politics reflects on Australia’s treatment of refugees, but much of it is filmed outside the country. For Rymer, it was necessary to have a global perspective. “When we were thinking about the film, we were worried about this growing reaction to refugees which seems so dismissive and unsympathetic. And I suppose then what we wanted was to make a film that examines the actions of the West, and put Australia in that context.” Rymer also wanted a figure at the centre of the film who would provide a way through the complexities. She approached barrister and activist Julian Burnside, whom she’d met years ago when she made a documentary following the Tampa affair.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I interviewed him then and was really impressed by his clarity,” she says. “We figured we needed clarity and humanity for the film. And Julian never loses his humanity.” He was reluctant at first. “We worked quite hard on him ­because we felt we ­needed to hear from a very well-informed voice.” Border Politics was filmed over the course of a year, and Burnside was involved in every stage of the shoot. “Obviously he is a busy man,” Rymer says, “but he was on the road with us all the time. He became an important honorary member of the crew. In fact, when we were in New York, it was so locked down that we couldn’t get from our hotel to the <span class="companylink">UN</span>, so ­Julian, in his beautiful suit, actually became a grip carrying the gear. He’s not a fly-in, fly-out kind of guy. He’s there to see and understand in a very real sense.” In the documentary, Burnside is a guide and an interviewer, visiting historical sites and monuments, speaking to some of the key authorities in the film. Rymer was keen that these encounters should be “conversations rather than interviews”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He’s also there to discover things for himself, to meet individuals who have formed their own responses to the <b>refugee</b> ­experience. “Julian has always ­asserted that the good in people is always brought to the fore when it’s a one-on-one situation.” Border Politics is about political, legal and philosophical positions, but it’s also about per­sonal connections. The film­makers travel to Germany and Scotland, for example, to small communities that have welcomed Syrian refugees into their midst.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In these situations, leadership is paramount, Burnside notes. In Scotland, where First Minister Nicola Sturgeon declared that the country stood “ready to offer sanctuary to refugees who need our help”, the example is set. On the Isle of Bute, the council took the initiative but the community was closely involved in welcoming 10 Syrian families to live among them. Residents interviewed for the film are quick to say how much everyone has benefited from the experience.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rymer was also struck by the community approach on the Greek island of Lesbos, where refugees fleeing through Turkey were arriving by <b>boat</b> at the rate of 6000 a day at one point. “In this little town in the north, with a seafaring population and very, very parochial, very traditional way of working, they’ve just opened up their doors,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are always challenges for documentary-makers in making films about volatile contemporary events — the possibility that circumstances could shift dramatically in the course of production. “Those are the night­mares you live,” Rymer says. And sometimes you come across stories that could easily be films in their own right: in Border Politics, the situation in Jordan was one such example. The film takes us to the Zaatari <b>refugee</b> camp, with a population of about 80,000 fleeing the war in Syria. “The striking thing is that Jordan, a relatively poor country, quite small, with a population of just over nine million, has responded to the plight of refugees with a generosity and humanity which all of us should show,” Burnside says, “but which is conspicuously absent in many countries in the West.” “I was amazed at the burden that Jordan was carrying,” Rymer says. “It’s a failure of responsibility for the West not to share that load, in my view.” Most of the “talking heads” in the film, Rymer says, have at least one thing in common. They are “all leaders in making some moral appeal to us in how we deal with this matter — people who are troubled by how refugees are being treated by the West and are seeking to do something about it”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian policies, particularly in relation to detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru, are regularly referenced in the film. “Because Australia is regarded as one of the most ­extreme governments in its practices towards <b>asylum</b>-seekers, it was obvious to start with ­ourselves,” Rymer says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’re all logical people, we understand that people who come to your borders need to be processed. But we are treating innocent people punitively and providing them with no outcome: how can you imagine, as an Australian citizen, that it’s the right thing to do? It’s outrageous and it’s illegal.” In making Border Politics, she says, “I suppose if there was one thing we hoped for, it was to ­appeal to the decency in all of us. And the second thing would be to provide a context for thinking for those people who are undecided.” Whatever the failures of ­leadership at the political level, there are still heartening examples in Australia, she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“As we are releasing this film I’ve been putting together lists of people to contact who might be interested in coming to the cinema. And you discover that there are legions of people in Australia working really hard to assist refugees who have basically been abandoned. There are endless people doing their best, trying to protect these people and provide them with services that aren’t provided for them by the government. I really had not realised the extent of it, and I think it’s quite awe-inspiring.”Border Politics is in limited release nationally.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The doctors who examined Wissam Jadiri when he came to Australia by <b>boat</b> in 2013 detected his elevated liver enzymes right away. But it took more than four years, countless flights and threats of a Federal Court case for the 41-year-old Feyli Kurdish <b>asylum</b> seeker to get treatment for hepatitis C.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They told me because you don't have visa, because you detainee, we can't give you medication," he says. "This is not fair [that] they treat me like that, in a country like Australia."</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Jadiri is far from alone. A new report by the Public Interest Advocacy Centre has identified the "routine denial" of antiviral treatment to people in immigration detention, and accused the federal government of failing to fulfil its common law duty of care.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It also identified a "failure to properly physically and psychologically treat suicidal <b>asylum</b> seekers" and the misuse and overuse of handcuffs and mechanical constraints, particularly on mentally ill <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of the 60 referrals it received since September 2016, the centre agreed to help 24 people with high-level needs, including eight who were initially refused treatment for hepatitis C. In four cases, the prisoners were ultimately given medication: one through a decision of the contracted healthcare provider, another courtesy of a pharmaceutical company and two through the centre's legal efforts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Jadiri, who remains on Christmas Island as his <b>asylum</b> claim progresses, only started receiving medication in March following a letter of demand by the Public Interest Advocacy Centre to the federal government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The hepatitis C cases are just absolutely stark," said the centre's chief executive, Jonathon Hunyor. "There's a treatment available, it's provided to others, it's recommended, it's needed and it isn't being delivered."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The broader problem identified in the report was the "legislative vacuum" around healthcare inside immigration detention. Unlike most laws governing state prisons, the federal Migration Act does not mandate the right to reasonable medical care and treatment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the case of hepatitis C, the general prison population is a priority group for receiving treatment, due to the prevalence of infection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Department of Home Affairs and its contractor, International Health and Medical Services, argue detainees in Australian immigration detention have access to healthcare that is "broadly comparable" with the general public health system, under a long-running agreement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Hunyor recommended this be enforced by enshrining the minimum standards in law, and noted "the Federal Court has on a number of occasions expressed concern about this legislative vacuum".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The case studies ... confirm people in held and community detention are not receiving the same standard of healthcare that is provided to Australian community members," the report concluded.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The failure to provide this care has real, often tragic, consequences. The Australian government is not fulfilling its common law duty of care to people in immigration detention, many of whom have already experienced high levels of trauma."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The report, In Poor Health: Health Care in Australian Immigration Detention, covers only onshore immigration detention, not the offshore centres established by Australia in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. There were 1369 people in onshore immigration detention, excluding community detention, at the end of April, according to government statistics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Human Rights Commissioner Ed Santow, a former Public Interest Advocacy Centre chief executive, will launch the report in Sydney today.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Far from becoming an international pariah over our <b>asylum</b>-seeker policies, Australia has shown itself to be a leader in dealing with uncontrolled immigration</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This may come as a shock to all those Australians who’ve travelled overseas lately and been greeted happily wherever they’ve gone, but everybody hates us. And they’ve hated us for years. Apparently Australia is an internationally loathed global pariah — all because we ended the people-smuggling trade in our region and stopped thousands more victims of that barbaric practice from drowning at sea.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australia has become an international pariah,” John-Paul Sanggaran, a <b>refugee</b> advocate and medical officer who worked at the Christmas Island detention centre, announced in 2016. “Our policies and treatment of people fleeing persecution, war and torture are infamous for their cruelty and selfishness.” “We should be leading the global policy debate,” former prime minister Kevin Rudd said, also during 2016. “Not turning ourselves into some pariah state.” That would be the same Kevin Rudd whose humanitarian <b>boat</b>-people policies reversed the Howard ­government’s successful closure of people-smuggling ventures, leading to overflowing <b>refugee</b> centres and those aforementioned ocean ­fatalities. Another <b>refugee</b> advocate, Buddies <b>Refugee</b> Support Group president Fergus Fitzgerald, lamented: “We were once a nation of leaders, we are now a pariah state.” Fitzgerald further claimed it was ridiculous for Australia to believe it could put up a wall and isolate itself from global humanitarian issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The United Nations and numerous Australian and international human rights agencies are urging the government to adjust its <b>refugee</b> policy. This is a time for Australia to shine, not behave like a pariah,” a Fairfax editorial commanded.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There have never been more displaced people, and it is well within the means of our nation, one of the world’s most prosperous, to increase its humanitarian intake.” Many throughout Europe, most notably Germany’s Angela Merkel , believed their own prosperous nations should follow that very course. It hasn’t worked out well. Last week the German chancellor faced calls to resign over the arrival in 2015-16 of more than one million migrants. During the historic first chancellor’s question time in the Bundestag, Merkel’s initial opponent accused her of “importing Islamists ... rapists, murderers, knife-wielders and terrorists”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Merkel said she’d acted lawfully and had since then “carried out a large number of measures” to cut <b>refugee</b> arrivals. What a triumph those measures represent. As The Times in Britain noted, there were 187,000 <b>asylum</b> applications in Germany last year, compared with 280,000 in 2016 and 890,000 in 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In other words, the <b>refugee</b> tsunami has slowed to a mere roaring flood. Among those <b>asylum</b> seekers, of course, was Tunisian Anis Amri, whose truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market killed 11 people. In Italy, which has copped more than 700,000 <b>boat</b> arrivals since 2013 and spends nearly $6 billion every year dealing with illegal immigration, new interior minister Matteo Salvini recently announced that his nation could not remain “Europe’s <b>refugee</b> camp”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The good times for illegals is over — get ready to pack your bags,” Salvini said in Sicily last week after visiting a <b>refugee</b> camp. “Open doors in Italy for good people and a one-way ticket for those who come to Italy to create commotion and think they will be taken care of. ‘Send them home’ will be one of our top priorities.” He also addressed, as Australia did previously, the issue of deaths at sea. “Every life is sacred,” Salvini told journalists. “To save lives you have to stop the departures of these death boats, which is a lucrative business for some and a disgrace for the rest of the world.” As The West Australian’s Paul Murray noted: “Sound familiar? Salvini is embarking on the same voyage that the Abbott government began after its election in 2015.” Yep. That would be the voyage which resulted in all those undocumented arrival enthusiasts calling us a pariah state.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France is also adopting an Australian stance. “We cannot take on the misery of the world,” President Emmanuel Macron said in April, following a poll that showed 63 per cent of voters believed there were too many immigrants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year France recorded 100,000 <b>asylum</b> applications, pushing public tolerance to breaking point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In response, the French National Assembly has lately passed impressively tough new immigration laws.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These reduce <b>asylum</b> application deadlines, double the time illegal migrants can be detained and — best of all — introduce a one-year prison sentence for entering France illegally.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Imagine the screams from the left if Australia were to emulate France. Arrive by <b>boat</b>, go straight to prison.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As it happens, the Greens element within Labor is again agitating for a return to more “humanitarian” — that is, stupid, chaotic and deadly — border abandonment policies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now it is the local left who find themselves (gasp!) out of step with global opinion, which is just about the worst thing any leftist can imagine. Rather than becoming a global pariah, Australia has instead set the global standard for dealing with uncontrolled immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time, we continue to run a very generous settlement program for genuine and documented ­refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Talk to millions of Germans, Italians and French, including a large and growing number of their politicians, and you will hear nothing but admiration for our justifiably hardline attitude towards illegal arrivals.“We should be leading the global policy debate,” Kevin Rudd said in 2016. We’ve done even better than that. Australia is leading by example.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And then we started to look a lot like them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After inconclusive elections in March, Italy this week swore in a new government — a coalition of two centre-right parties, Lega and the Five Star Movement — which have a joint policy on immigration and <b>asylum</b> seekers that would resonate strongly in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back on New Year’s Eve in 2002, I stood in the Quirinale in Rome after midnight listening to an address by the late president, Carlo Ciampi, speaking about the country’s adoption of the euro.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ciampi emphatically said that Italy had entered the euro zone and it would thereafter always be part of one homogeneous Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Less than two decades down the track, world events have changed the face of Italy with the new government full of Eurosceptics wary of Brussels’ rules, which have thrown open its borders, and listening far more closely to popular sentiment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Italy has borne the brunt of the tide of refugees heading north from Africa and the Middle East, escaping wars or just seeking better economic prospects, and the election of the new government marks a substantial hardening of public attitudes. Many Italians have had enough. If the left wing of the Australian Labor Party seriously wants to continue with the current push to weaken our border controls, it needs to be aware the public backlash could look something like what is happening in Italy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two days after the swearing-in, Lega’s leader, new Interior Minister Matteo Salvini , visited a Sicilian <b>refugee</b> camp to reinforce his party’s pledge to send home more than 500,000 undocumented arrivals from North Africa within five years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The only antidote to racism is to control, regulate and limit immigration,” Salvini said during the national election campaign. “There are millions of Italians in economic difficulty.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Italians are not racist, but out-of-control immigration brings with it far from positive reactions. We want to prevent that.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week in Sicily, he hardened the rhetoric:</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The good times for illegals is over — get ready to pack your bags. Open doors in Italy for good people and a one-way ticket for those who come to Italy to create commotion and think they will be taken care of. ‘Send them home’ will be one of our top priorities.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 13,500 people claiming migrant and <b>refugee</b> status have arrived in Italy by sea this year, boosting the 600,000 who landed since the start of 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Days before Salvini’s visit to the Pozzallo camp, 35 people drowned off the coast of Tunisia and another 67 were rescued trying to reach Italy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And in a direct parallel to the renewed <b>refugee</b> debate in Australia, this was the new minister’s message:</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Every life is sacred. To save lives you have to stop the departures of these death boats, which is a lucrative business for some and a disgrace for the rest of the world.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sound familiar? Salvini is embarking on the same voyage that the Abbott government began after its election in 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But he is already being told that Italy cannot send back to their home countries people who don’t want to go and it has no right to turn boats around at sea. Sound familiar? Salvini bolsters his position by promising Italians to cut the $5.8 billion they spend each year on “maintaining immigrants”. And while his Lega party’s position on refugees has always been harder than the Five Star Movement’s, it is now enshrined in the 57-page government contract agreed with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The immigration section of the policy document calls for the deportation of Italy’s estimated 500,000 undocumented immigrants ‘as a priority’, building more detention centres and a review of the <span class="companylink">European Union</span> ’s Dublin Regulation, which stipulates that migrants and refugees apply for <b>asylum</b> in the first <span class="companylink">EU</span> country they reach,” Al-Jazeera reported.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So what does this shift in Italian politics mean for Australia — if anything?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Victorian Labor Party was in some ways saved from itself over <b>refugee</b> policy at the end of last month in an attempt to save Bill Shorten from political embarrassment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In a sign of how sensitive this issue is, the Victorian Labor State conference today shut down a potentially damaging debate over the party’s policy on offshore processing,” the ABC reported on May 29.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The motion, drafted by Labor’s left, urged the party to ‘close the offshore detention centres, transit centres and other camps on Manus and Nauru within the first 90 days’ of a Shorten government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But shortly before debate was due to begin, two powerful unions, the AWU and CFMEU, teamed up to defer that motion — and all others — prompting cries of ‘shame’ from the audience.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">The Guardian</span> concluded major changes at the national conference — now due in December after the clash with the Super Saturday by-elections — were unlikely to protect Labor’s electoral chances.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this week it became known that the Left is coming again at the NSW Labor conference due later this month, with the by-elections just four weeks later.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A document prepared by the internal Labor for <b>refugee</b> groups and a clutch of associated proposed motions, urge overturning some bipartisan elements of Australia’s strategies, many of them instituted by the party when in government, particularly by Kevin Rudd.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“These motions show the party’s rank and file are uncomfortable with the suite of tough policies that provide for offshore detention and processing of refugees, and <b>boat</b> turn-backs that are designed to deny landfall to refugees seeking <b>asylum</b> as a deterrent to taking the hazardous journey in the first place,” The Australian’s Troy Bramston reported.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As weary Italians try to slam the door shut on the <b>refugee</b> tide, Labor in Australia seems hell-bent on throwing ours open again.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We are the land of the fair go unless you are an <b>asylum</b> seeker, especially one who came by <b>boat</b>. Unless you are an Indigenous Australian, unless you are a woman hoping for true equality in the workplace, unless you are one of the millions of Australians who now find themselves on the wrong side of the income inequality gap," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cilento, CEO of CEDA (<span class="companylink">Committee for Economic Development of Australia</span>) cited figures from their recently released report on inequality. They show that 13 per cent of Australia's population are living below the poverty line. Cilento argued that growing inequality is an economic problem that Australia urgently needs to address. Cilento committed CEDA to research further these costs, and benefits, of economic growth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The extent of inequality in the Hunter is evident in 2016 Census data, particularly in figures of the Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD). The index employs a range of indicators, including income, qualifications and skills. Regions and localities with a low score are experiencing greater disadvantage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By this measure, many local government areas in the Hunter slipped down the national rankings between 2011 and 2016. Only Dungog LGA increased its Australian decile ranking. Some other Hunter localities sit in the bottom 30 per cent of Australian LGAs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The index shows a geographic divide between the Lower and Upper Hunter. LGAs in the Upper Hunter experienced an increase in relative disadvantage. The more urban LGAs, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, stayed steady and in the top (least disadvantaged) 30 per cent nationally.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even the less disadvantaged Hunter LGAs show evidence of inequality at suburb and postcode level. Pockets of disadvantage exist in every LGA, areas where Hunter residents suffer from a disproportionate number of barriers to achieving a fair go.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not surprisingly, HRF Centre research shows that inequality affects wellbeing. In 2016, Hunter residents experienced lower scores in the Centre's wellbeing index when they faced unemployment, financial stress, and job insecurity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, the full effects of inequality may not be felt until the future. Younger Hunter residents (aged 18-29) face more challenges than those in other age groups, our data shows. They are more likely to be short on money, unable to afford day-to-day needs and to feel housing is unaffordable. They also face the global challenges presented to future workers by emerging technologies, which were discussed by Cilento.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The CEDA report, How Unequal? Insights on Inequality, recommends changes in housing policy and regulation, taxation, education and training, and data regulation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These recommendations apply to the Hunter. The latest Census shows economic transition has seen almost 9000 regional manufacturing jobs lost between 2011 and 2016. Housing is at its most unaffordable level since the HRF Centre began its First Home Buyers Index in 1997.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Regional plans need to include policies that ensure that all Hunter residents, from every LGA and postcode, are able to share in future prosperity.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten and potential leadership challenger Anthony Albanese face a dilemma as many on the left of the Labor Party push for a softer line on the detention centres</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PRECISELY 79 years ago to the day as I write this column, US Senator Robert Taft ­explained why he would vote to reject a <b>refugee</b> ­intake of 20,000 Jewish children from Germany into America. His two-page letter, dated June 7, 1939, cited arguments similar to those offered now in the debate over how many <b>asylum</b> seekers we should accept into our country.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I have the utmost sympathy with the terrible position of the German refugees, and the appeal for assistance to helpless children is hard to resist,” Senator Taft wrote. “Particularly at the present time, I think it unwise to encourage immigration. Nearly 20 million people are dependent on the federal government for relief.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is said that the <b>refugee</b> children will be provided with homes, but if homes are available in America for 20,000 children, then certainly there are at least 20,000 American children whose condition could be tremendously benefited by access to such homes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Furthermore, there is no assurance that in years to come, when the additional children are looking for jobs, conditions of unemployment will be better than now, and if the refugees obtain jobs, they will displace 20,000 young Americans ­engaged in the same search.” Taft’s heartbreaking letter is a poignant reminder of why Australia is, and should always be, generous to genuine refugees. We have a history of generosity, including the 12,000 Syrian refugees we accepted with open arms. But we also live in a complex environment where anti-Western and hardline Islamic sympathisers have taken advantage of us after being welcomed into Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many involved in terror plots have parents who came to Australia on a humanitarian visa or similar migration program from nations like Syria, Egypt and Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Man Monis, who held hostages at gunpoint in the deadly Lindt cafe siege, is a case in point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Protecting Australians from a terror attack has led to more stringent security checks and longer processing times in offshore detention centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s this point where there is set to be a real debate between the Turnbull government and Labor in the months before the next federal election. Labor is set to attack the Turnbull government and Peter Dutton over how long refugees are left wallowing in detention centres. There are dozens of ­motions that have been put forward for the NSW Labor conference, to be held on June 30, that involve softening the position on border protection and <b>asylum</b> seekers even more than this. The conferences help form policy to be adopted by Labor, should it win government come May next year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The motions include overhauling the government’s position on turning back <b>boat</b> arrivals to ending offshore detention entirely and resettling those on Manus and Nauru immediately. Labor historian, author and senior writer with The Australian, Troy Bramston, described it as a “grassroots revolt over <b>refugee</b> policy, with city and country branches calling for sweeping changes to the largely ­bipartisan border protection and offshore processing regime.” The push, mostly from the left of the Labor Party, is a problem for Bill Shorten but also for Anthony Albanese, should he seize leadership if Labor loses two or more of the four July 28 by-elections.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite hailing from the Left faction, Albanese’s record does not indicate he would take a softer stance on refugees than Shorten — or even the Turnbull government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Albanese was deputy prime minister when Labor reintroduced offshore processing. He has also conceded publicly on numerous occasions that Labor when it was last in government got its <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy wrong, underestimating that it is pull factors, not just push, that encouraged the boats to come to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His focus is understood to be addressing the frustration Labor members and voters feel about the length of time refugees are stuck on Manus and Nauru, and having them resettled in a third country, like the US, Canada or New Zealand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it’s understood he does not agree with Linda Burney’s awkward proposition in a Sky News interview for a “time limit” on those in offshore detention centres. He would also increase the number of refugees Australia accepts, while dedicating more funding for the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In the platform is something that just about everyone can live with,” an Albanese supporter claimed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s an area Labor needs to tread very carefully, never forgetting Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison’s sweeping success from stopping the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Luke Foley’s recent “white flight” comments were not entirely misguided. They show how he believes the issue plays out in Western Sydney, where voters are concerned about the impact of overpopulation on road congestion, job prospects and basic services like schools and access to healthcare. And politicians only have to look towards Angela Merkel, who is facing a potentially catastrophic backlash over her decision to accept one million refugees into Germany in 2015 and 2016. It’s why the work being done by Citizenship Minister Alan Tudge to look at settling migrants into regional areas — and forcing them to ­actually stay there — is so critical.It could potentially solve the conundrum, wedging Labor on how to be more generous towards genuine refugees while not placing greater pressure on our overcrowded cities — and, at the same time, avoiding an electoral knifing.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Repeated attempts to lance this boil - including the American solution, the 2014 <b>refugee</b> deal with Cambodia and the recent, explosive, forced relocation of refugees from one place to another on Manus Island - have all fallen far short of success.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only about 100 of the 1250 offshore detainees originally proposed to have been relocated to America under an arrangement slammed by US President Donald Trump as "the worst deal ever" have made that trip.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year's forced relocation of refugees on Manus Island was a public relations disaster and an administrative farce.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This litany of failure and woe, the fallout of a policy whose avowed purpose is to treat those who arrive by <b>boat</b> so cruelly others will be reluctant to follow, must be weighed against growing voices of dissent within Labor and the Coalition and recent statements by the United Nations human rights office.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the Turnbull government has been happy to make much of calls by a handful of courageous Labor MPs for their party to revisit its support for the existing policy, it had far less to say about last year's tacit support by Canberra Liberals for an ACT Legislative Assembly motion calling for an end to off-shore detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Canberra Liberals leader Alistaire Coe said while immigration "was clearly a federal issue" he and his team "[did] sympathise with the plight of those in detention".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Recent, and extremely strongly worded, statements from the United Nations human rights office have added an additional degree of urgency to finding ways to move away from the current policy settings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">UN</span>, along with hundreds of thousands of people around the world, has been horrified and disgusted by America's forced separation of Central American <b>asylum</b>-seeking children from their parents under a "zero tolerance policy" on illegal immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UN spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said the "zero tolerance" approach had resulted in "people being caught entering the country irregularly being subjected to criminal prosecution and having their children taken away from them as a result".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Shamdasani, who reiterated that seeking <b>asylum</b> by arriving at the border without the appropriate documents was not a crime, said several hundred children, including one under one, had been separated from their parents in the past six months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"[This] is a serious violation of the rights of the child," she said. "The use of immigration detention and family separation as a deterrent runs counter to humans rights standards and principals ... the child's best interest should always come first."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Take the comments from the new member for Batman, Ged Kearney, who used her maiden speech a fortnight ago to blast offshore processing as “shameful”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That may work in her inner Melbourne seat, where Labor fought a ­recent by-election against the “Bring Them Here” Greens, but it doesn’t play well in other parts of the country with enough commonsense to support a life-saving, <b>boat</b>-stopping ­approach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two days after Kearney’s remarks, Barton MP Linda Burney argued on Sky News that there should be a “time limit” for how long refugees are kept on Manus and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her office then mind-bogglingly decided to issue a doctored transcript of the interview, entirely omitting the controversial comments that undermined the party’s pretence of bipartisanship on strong borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course, that only served to draw even more attention to them. And before she was handed Sam Dastyari’s vacated Senate spot, ­Kristina Keneally argued in a column for <span class="companylink">The Guardian</span> that the government “should bring the refugees to Australia”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Funnily enough, when contesting the Bennelong by-election the following year, Keneally abandoned that idea, instead pledging support for leader Bill Shorten’s policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then yesterday The Australian revealed Labor was facing a grassroots revolt over refugees, with a dozen motions from city and country branches from across NSW calling for sweeping changes ahead of the state annual conference at the end of the month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among the demands, a royal commission into “abuses” of those in detention, the immediate closure of offshore processing centres and the right for protection claims to be ­assessed in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None of this bodes well for Labor, with a Sky News/ReachTEL poll finding that there is strong support among voters for the government’s immigration policy in two of the ­marginal seats that will be up for grabs in next month’s Super Saturday­ ­by-elections.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the Queensland electorate of Longman — until recently held by Labor’s Susan Lamb — 66 per cent oppose refugees on Manus and Nauru being resettled here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the Tasmanian seat of Braddon — being recontested by its former Labor representative Justine Keay — that figure is 60 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not only that, the same polling ­already has the Coalition ahead in both of those seats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s probably a blessing for Labor that its national conference, which clashed with the date recommended for those by-elections, has now been rescheduled to December.Expect to see them urgently trying to plug those leaking holes in the meantime.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor is facing a grassroots revolt over <b>refugee</b> policy, with city and country branches calling for sweeping changes to the largely ­bipartisan border protection and offshore processing regime ahead of the NSW Labor annual conference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian has obtained more than a dozen motions submitted by Labor Party branches to the annual conference on June 30 and July 1 at the Sydney Town Hall. Not one motion supports the party’s current policy in full.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The motions show the party leadership is out of step with the views of members, who want a clear statement of support for the principles advocated by the Labor for Refugees internal lobby group and the restoration of “a fair and humane policy on refugees and people seeking <b>asylum</b>”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These motions show the party’s rank and file are uncomfortable with the suite of tough policies that provide for offshore detention and processing of refugees, and <b>boat</b> turnbacks that are designed to deny landfall to refugees seeking <b>asylum</b> as a deterrent to taking the hazardous journey in the first place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is also concern over the “demonisation” of refugees by the government and their treatment in detention. Labor branches want a future Labor government to redouble efforts to establish a more effective regional framework for dealing with <b>asylum</b>-seekers in partnership with the <span class="companylink">UN</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A policy document prepared by Labor for Refugees has the support of many party branches.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It calls for, among other things, a royal commission into “the abuses of men, women and children” in detention; the right for protection claims to be assessed in Australia and the abandonment of offshore detention; and a clear 12-month timetable for determining claims for protection with judicial appeal rights under Australian law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While motions support “maintaining essential maritime activity to prevent people-smuggling”, party members want Labor to commit to “immediately” closing “all offshore detention facilities” and relocating all remaining refugees to Australia, New Zealand or the US.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One party branch calls for a future Labor government “to revisit its policy of never allowing <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving by <b>boat</b> to settle in Australia” because they argue it breaches international human-rights obligations and causes unremitting “suffering and misery”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor branches believe there is evidence of widespread “medical negligence” in the Nauru and Manus Island centres and want a future Labor government to ­review the provision of medical care to refugees and a new contract awarded for such services.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The party’s social-justice and legal-affairs policy committee has not recommended a detailed position on the party’s <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy ahead of the state conference later this month, but has supported several motions “in principle”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor is keen to avoid a public showdown on refugees at the state conference — where the right faction will have a large majority of delegates — wanting to leave it to be determined by the rescheduled national conference on December 16-18 at the Adelaide Convention Centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, The Australian has been told Labor for Refugees will liaise with faction leaders about presenting an “urgency motion” to the state conference that will seek to shift the party’s policy towards a more “humane” stance.It is seen as an important signal ahead of the national conference.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IN the hand-to-hand combat of federal politics, you grasp any advantage you can. The Turnbull Government understandably thought it was on a winner when it set down July 28 for the five by-elections caused by four more citizenship snafus and one resignation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Surely, this was too good to be true — July 28 was the date of Day One of the ALP’s national conference, an event that’s always good for a display of passionate internal Labor division, especially over <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy. For the Coalition, the undercurrent of disagreement within the Labor Party over offshore detention and turning back the boats is the gift that keeps on giving.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor is in danger in a couple of the by-elections and there was a real prospect that the sight of frontbenchers posturing and disagreeing in the lead-up to the conference could have tipped the scales and handed a victory or two to the government. But if the Coalition does manage to snag any seats from the ALP, it won’t be because of the national conference — because there won’t be one.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Obviously, it wasn’t the government’s intention to help Bill Shorten but ultimately that’s what it did. By grabbing that date, obviously designed to embarrass and hurt the ALP leader, it prompted Labor to postpone the conference until after the next general election whenever it’s held.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So that’s one short-term problem avoided by Shorten. But it doesn’t get Labor any closer to healing its open wound over border protection and <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy. For more than 18 months, Labor has led the government in the opinion polls. The sure-fire way to kill that lead is for federal Labor to alter its position on border protection. The current stance, which includes <b>boat</b> turnbacks and offshore detention without exceptions, was established at the party’s national conference in 2015 under Shorten’s guidance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was the subject of spirited debate. Shorten’s judgment was that Labor could not be electorally competitive if it didn’t acknowledge the success of the government’s turnbacks policy and promise to maintain it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor had already, under Kevin Rudd’s second period as prime minister in 2013, implemented the policy of mandatory offshore detention. At that 2015 conference, Shorten’s leadership rival, Anthony Albanese, voted against <b>boat</b> turnbacks, as did the deputy leader, Tanya Plibersek .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Essentially, Labor’s position is to continue the government’s approach while also increasing Australia’s <b>refugee</b> intake and seeking partnerships with other countries in the region. In its real-world application, that means potential indefinite detention on Manus Island and Nauru for people who manage to land on Australian territory because anything less will be seen by people smugglers as a green light.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is all too much for some on the Labor side. A motion calling on a Shorten government to commit to closing Manus and Nauru within 90 days of taking office was put on the notice paper at last weekend’s state ALP conference but in the end, was not debated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It came after two interventions last week. One was a strange television interview given by frontbencher Linda Burney, who started referring to unnamed people working on a change to policy that would set down a time limit for <b>asylum</b> seekers to remain in detention. It was completely contradictory to Labor policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Burney’s office then doctored a transcript of the interview, removing the most embarrassing parts. Burney is from the NSW Left, home to Albanese. There, reflexive discomfort with Labor’s (read Shorten’s) stance is standard operating procedure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The other contribution was the first speech by Ged Kearney , who won the Batman by-election for Labor in March. In a heartfelt recounting of her political journey, Kearney described the plight of <b>asylum</b> seekers as “a passionate and emotional issue for voters in Batman’s community”. It is, and Kearney during her campaign did a good job of explaining to Batman’s inner-city constituents that while they felt the pain of <b>asylum</b> seekers, many voters in Australia felt differently.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But in her speech to parliament, she delivered a more conventional inner-city take: “Racist dog-whistling has demonised and vilified a community that has everything to give to Australia — and the sacrifice of this human potential has been made solely for political gain.” Australia must move <b>asylum</b> seekers off Manus and Nauru to permanent resettlement and ensure indefinite detention never happened again, Kearney said. Her comments certainly looked like a challenge to Shorten’s policy — and catnip to the government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s tragedy on <b>asylum</b> seekers is that its handling of the issue in the Rudd and Gillard years was a catastrophe and that is the judgment of a solid majority of voters. Its attempt at a more humane policy turbocharged the people-smuggling trade, with 50,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers reaching here by <b>boat</b> and 1200 dying at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten’s policy acknowledges those truths. In the eyes of many, Labor had its chance but blew its credibility on <b>refugee</b> policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Restoring that credibility is the challenge facing the next two or three generations of Labor politicians at least. Indulging in the politics of the warm inner glow from the vantage point of Opposition feels comforting. But in this instance, its ultimate result will be an eternity spent in Opposition.SHAUN CARNEY IS A <span class="companylink">HERALD</span> SUN COLUMNIST</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This would risk reducing public confidence in Australia’s humanitarian program and redirect resources from those applicants truly in need of protection.” As it stands, section 5J of the Migration Act considers sexual orientation to determine if there is fear of persecution, but <b>asylum</b> seekers have to produce evidence to back their individual cases.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There’s a reason Labor frontbenchers and backbenchers send out press releases and transcripts through Bill Shorten’s office — all except Anthony Albanese, who’s too independent to cop such nannying. The reason for the centralisation is to avoid pitfalls such as the falsification of the transcript of MP Linda Burney’s foolish comments about <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy on Sky News . A spokesman for the Opposition Leader blamed Ms Burney’s office yesterday, claiming the doctoring was a “mistake”. Ms Burney said the error was “unintentional”. Hardly. Hundreds of words, embarrassing to Mr Shorten on a touchy issue, were changed or deleted. Even the text of David Speers’s questions was altered. The rewrite, as Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton says, was deliberate fabrication.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However much Mr Shorten’s staff try to hide him behind the Sergeant Schultz “I know nothing” defence, it won’t wash after years of doublespeak and falsehoods. The gravest of these, which upset old people who received robocalls and texts, was the despicable “Mediscare” scam at the 2016 election. Mr Shorten claimed, dishonestly, that the government planned to privatise Medicare. It was a low blow. The Coalition was too slow hitting back and almost lost office over the issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More recently, Mr Shorten dug himself into a deep hole with his “rolled-gold guarantees” during the dual citizenship fiasco that he was “more than satisfied” all Labor MPs were eligible to sit in parliament because of the party’s superior vetting process. When that line was destroyed by the High Court he claimed the court had come up with a “new” and “stricter” test on judging the eligibility of MPs under section 44 of the Constitution. Not true. There was no legal change.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten’s credibility is also threadbare on company tax cuts, which he now dismisses as “handouts” to the “big end of town”. But in office in 2011, he told parliament cutting company taxes “increases domestic productivity and domestic investment … and leads to more jobs and higher wages”. Was he speaking with a forked tongue then? As Dennis Shanahan wrote last week, in 2005 Mr Shorten supported just three tiers of personal income tax with a top rate of 30 per cent. What does he believe? Or does he just spin out lines to suit the prevailing political winds? So much for conviction and principle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shifting sands are nothing new to Mr Shorten. His backflip over the Adani coalmine also was striking. In 2016 he branded the same-sex marriage postal vote “a taxpayer-funded platform for homophobia”. But Shanahan recalled a meeting in 2013 where Mr Shorten was “completely relaxed” about a plebiscite because “I would rather the people of Australia could make their view clear on this than leaving this issue to 150 people”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greater transparency about Mr Shorten’s doings as the <span class="companylink">Australian Workers Union</span> ’s national chief would help shine a light on his character. Last year, Brad Norington revealed the AWU, under his leadership, donated $100,000 or more in seed funding to GetUp! , where Mr Shorten served on the board. How many of its radical causes does he still support? He also arranged a $25,000 donation of AWU funds to his Maribyrnong campaign in 2007. Despite repeated requests, the union has not produced minutes to show the donations were approved by the AWU national executive. Doubts remain about whether required processes were followed.The sore spot touched by Ms Burney, however, goes to an issue far more serious to the national interest. The opposition is in schism on border protection, with Ms Burney among those “very passionate”, she told Speers, about putting time limits on offshore detention on Manus Island and Nauru. That argument was cut from the transcript sent out by Mr Shorten’s office. The consequences of Labor going soft on Coalition border protection policies were made clear in the Rudd-Gillard years: 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers arriving by <b>boat</b>; 1200 drownings; jam-packed detention centres. Labor activists will push for policy change at the party’s upcoming national conference. Mr Shorten will insist common sense will prevail. So did Kevin Rudd in 2007. Mr Shorten also showed bad judgment in November urging Malcolm Turnbull to consider accepting New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern ’s offer to resettle 150 refugees. People-smugglers know that travellers who arrive in New Zealand qualify for Australian visas. It would be their strongest selling point for years. Altering a transcript will not alter Labor’s weaknesses on border protection policy. But it has put the focus on Mr Shorten’s trustworthiness.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dwarfed by the Sydney Town Hall’s soaring 20m ceilings, a sometimes jovial, sometimes teary Sir Frank reminisced about 58 years of Westfield, his last time chairing the international shopping centre giant’s annual meeting, and a “very lucky” corporate life.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was given two standing ovations by shareholders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Over the past weeks a lot of people have asked me: ‘How do you feel?’,” Sir Frank told a meeting peppered with present and past executives including former lieutenant and Scentre chief executive Peter Allen, institutional investors and mostly older retail investors who had held on to their Westfield shares through its many corporate restructures.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Of course there is a tinge of sadness,” he told the room.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sir Frank signalled a future involvement in business and will continue to chair the private Lowy Family Group in which his three sons are heavily involved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Flanked by his sons — Westfield co-chief executives Peter and Steven, and David, who runs LFG — Sir Frank gave an emotional farewell, speaking of his history as a <b>refugee</b> and starting out with partner John Saunders in a delicatessen in Sydney’s Blacktown.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He also outlined his ambitions in business, culminating in the $32bn friendly takeover by French property giant <span class="companylink">Unibail-Rodamco</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When asked what’s next, Sir Frank said: “Things happen in life, unexpected things.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I don’t intend to sit on the beach and do nothing for the rest of my life. “Something will happen. The <span class="companylink">Lowy Institute</span> is very important for me, and I will spend more time (on it).” Globalisation was in his DNA, Sir Frank told shareholders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In all my activities, with Westfield, with football, in foreign policy — it’s all been about showing the best of Australia to the world.” Sir Frank said the <span class="companylink">Lowy Institute</span> provided a way to promote Australia’s intellectual output.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I believed fundamentally that we had more to offer the world than beaches and sport — as wonderful as those things are,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I arrived at a special time: the growth of Australia in 50s was just beginning. I happened to do business in Blacktown and immigrants were swarming into that part of Sydney, so that gave me the opportunity to do many things.” “I’m not the only successful immigrant,” he said after the ­meeting. However, on the <b>refugee</b> issue, Sir Frank said the government needed to be in charge of Australia’s borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was a <b>boat refugee</b> once so I have a sympathy for them, but they can come here through the normal process,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The veteran chairman weighed into poor governance, questioning the breakdown in corporate structures that allowed the problems exposed by the banking royal commission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“These are very big organisations and its very difficult to know enough when you are at the top ... but somewhere there was a looseness, because the heads of these corporations and the boards are top people in their field.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But something got loose in the structure of these big institutions. Now it has been unearthed Australia will take the necessary steps to eliminate these inadequacies in the financial management.” The Lowy family will hold a 2.5-3 per cent share in the new merged company, which will have €62bn ($96bn) worth of assets in 13 countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The new company is expected to begin trading next month on the Paris and Amsterdam stock exchanges with a secondary listing in Australia set for June 12.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sir Frank reaffirmed the family’s intention to maintain its stake in Scentre, which controls the Westfield shopping centres in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, shareholders also approved the spin-off of the retail technology company <span class="companylink">OneMarket</span> from Westfield, with Steven Lowy to chair the business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It will be separately listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.MORE REPORTS P25</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former boss of the Australian Border Force has warned Labor's infighting on refugees risks more <b>boat</b> arrivals and deaths at sea, as the alternative government grapples with internal dissent on the ultra-sensitive political issue.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Roman Quaedvlieg, who led the quasi-military agency for two years, said that even a proposal to increase Australia's permanent <b>refugee</b> intake risked more <b>boat</b> arrivals and predicted public comments from Labor MPs this week would have consequences in the future.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fissure over <b>asylum</b> seekers erupted again on Thursday when Opposition Leader Bill Shorten's office distributed a doctored transcript of a television interview that omitted frontbencher Linda Burney's controversial calls for a "time limit" on offshore detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Burney's spokesman took the blame, but a fuming Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton demanded an explanation from Mr Shorten for what he labelled a "fabricated" and "fraudulent" document.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg, who was removed from his post this year over personal misconduct that he denies, described the sentiments of Ms Burney and other Labor MPs as "commendable", but warned they would have consequences for Labor in government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an opinion piece today, Mr Quaedvlieg writes that "any wavering in [Labor's] solidarity" with the Coalition on border protection "will undoubtedly be used as a people smuggler's marketing ploy". But in an interview, he went further and said even a proposal to lift Australia's humanitarian intake risked more boats, because it "signals the overall willingness to be softer on the issue of refugees".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg said the Border Force would expect a "spike" in boats upon a change of government, buoyed by the sort of comments made by Labor MP Ged Kearney this week and motions at upcoming Labor conferences. "I actually don't think Labor's policy is that different [to the Coalition]," he said. "What they're saying is actually creating the pull factor."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Several left-wing Labor MPs felt a motion for Sunday's Victorian Labor conference, calling on Labor to bring refugees from Manus Island and Nauru to Australia, was counter-productive. But a "less pointed" resolution was still likely to spark debate at the party's national conference mid-year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg said it was "well overdue" that people left the islands and described the status quo as a "mess" and a "weeping sore on Australia's collective psyche". But he said allowing the refugees to come to Australia was not the solution and "setting a time limit is artificial and dangerous".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg suggested the US could take more than the 1250 refugees agreed with the Obama administration "if the uplifts and settlements go smoothly".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yesterday Mr Dutton said there were "no other third countries who are immediately available" to take refugees from the islands. He again dismissed New Zealand's offer to take 150 people as not acceptable "at this point in time", and said the death of a <b>refugee</b> on Manus Island this week was a matter for Papua New Guinea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Home Affairs Minister was also scathing of Ms Burney's "fabricated" transcript, which contained many diversions from what she actually said in a TV interview with Sky News' David Speers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said it went "beyond doctoring" and accused Ms Burney of deliberately falsifying the document to deceive people. He also said Labor was embroiled in a "civil war" over <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, Ms Burney denied those claims. She said her office was solely responsible for transcribing the interview and the errors by her spokesman were unintentional. "The staff member involved has been counselled about the mistake," she said. The spokesman also took responsibility for what he called a "stuff-up".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The interview was recorded and is online. Speers told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>: "The tape speaks for itself."</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sir Frank Lowy received a standing ovation from shareholders at his final Westfield annual meeting on Thursday after delivering an emotional speech championing Australian business overseas and calling for greater openness to ideas and people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After landing in Sydney on Australia Day in 1952 as a WWII <b>refugee</b>, Sir Frank took just eight years to list a burgeoning shopping centre business called 'Westfield' on the stock exchange with his late business partner John Saunders. It has grown into a global empire that will now be owned by European giant <span class="companylink">Unibail</span> following a $33 billion deal - Australia's largest ever takeover.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Thursday he was named as Australia's fifth richest person on the 2018 Financial Review Rich List.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Surrounded by friends and family, Sir Frank read out the 97.5 per cent approval vote for the takeover and moved to deliver a speech punctuated by emotional vignettes of his career struggles.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I will never forget the time our local bank manager in Blacktown wrote out a personal cheque for £4000 for John Saunders and me to cover our overdraft, to show his head office that he had personal confidence in our creditworthiness and our potential," Mr Lowy said. "This was the Australia I experienced as a young man trying to make my way."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Overcome with emotion Sir Frank paused to recover and then called for Australia to be more ambitious.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I fundamentally believe that Australia's future depends on its people being open to the world. To new ideas, and to new people. And it depends on us being ambitious - as individuals and as a nation."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He later told a crowd of journalists under flashing cameras and television lighting that: "The government needs to be in charge of our borders and within those limitations we should let a lot more people come to Australia. Australia has to grow bigger than what it is," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I was a <b>boat refugee</b> once so I have sympathy for them, but they have to come through the normal process."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said as a young man and Holocaust survivor in Sydney in the 1950s "the feeling of freedom was overwhelming".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"No one asked me what my religion was. No one was chasing me, and I didn't have to hide."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the success of Westfield and other ventures, such as the <span class="companylink">Lowy Institute</span> and his support for soccer in Australia, was about promoting the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"You might ask what this has to do with Westfield? Well I see Westfield, football, the <span class="companylink">Lowy Institute</span> and many other initiatives, as part of the one integrated project. To promote Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Our so-called 'soft power' isn't projected around the world just by diplomats. It is projected by all of us - by our writers and artists, by our sporting teams, our governments and, yes, by Australian business. In fact, I think that the contribution of business to how Australia is seen in the world is massively under-rated here at home."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked about the recent governance crisis at AMP and CBA, Mr Lowy said they were big companies and that "the looseness needs to be tightened up".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Son and joint Westfield chief executive Steven Lowy started at Westfield as a centre manager at Garden State Plaza in New Jersey 31 years ago, when he was 24. He said he felt "emotional, but incredibly proud" of what the family had built and had no regrets about leaving the Westfield empire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"You do think about that but you have to put shareholders first and this was a very good deal. Shareholders must come first," Steven Lowy said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his speech Steven Lowy paused with emotion after acknowledging how far the company had come.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It is a matter of great pride that <span class="companylink">Unibail-Rodamco</span> intends not only to retain the Westfield brand but plans to expand it across their flagship assets all over continental Europe. What a fitting tribute to the pair of European refugees - my dad and John Saunders - who started it all in the western suburbs of Sydney some 60 years ago."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A decade ago Westfield embarked on a new strategy focused on flagship only shopping centres and since that time the business has completed $7 billion worth of developments, divested 29 assets valued at more than $7 billion and joint ventured 22 assets valued at $10 billion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Lowy family will continue to own a stake in Scentre, the operator of Westfield centres in Australia, and will also have a 2 to 3 per cent holding in the newly formed Unibail Westfield entity - which will have the world's biggest shopping centre development pipeline.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I leave with no regrets, only faith in the future for the new Westfield, and for Australia," Sir Frank said. "With these words and with your permission I will close the meeting, and say, finally: Thank you Australia!"</p>

Three of them are on the longlist: three-time winner and dual Booker Prize recipient Peter Carey for A Long Way From Home, dual winner Kim Scott for Taboo and Michelle de Kretser for The Life to Come.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For Castagna, the story of ­people arriving by <b>boat</b>, and the response of the people already settled, is “part of Australia since our settlement”, from colonial days to post-World War II to the present debate about <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I wanted to write a book about our fears and anxieties as Australians, and if you want to look for an icon for that it is the <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This book is about listening to our past and having respect for each other’s stories.” Castagna is the only debut literary novelist on the longlist. The other contenders are Lia Hills for The Crying Place, Eva Hornung for The Last Garden, Wayne Mac­auley for Some Tests, Catherine McKinnon for Storyland, Jane Rawson for From the Wreck and Michael Sala for The Restorer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Previous winners who were eligible but missed out include Alex Miller, Steven Carroll and Sofie Laguna. Five-time bridesmaid Richard Flanagan, who was eligible to enter for The First Person, boycotted the Miles Franklin. The judges confirmed his novel was not submitted and therefore not considered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Four-time winner Tim Winton was not in the running as his new novel, The Shepherd’s Hut, was published this year. He will be a contender next year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chief judge Richard Neville said the books “take us back in time to consider the effects of the past, or address the issues of contemporary life, or give glimpses of an uncertain, even frightening ­future”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Whether dealing with disconnection, dispossession, the many varieties of grief and its resolutions, the violence done to those close or those unknown, or the deeper questions of existence, the novels engage and reward the reader.”The shortlist will be ­announced on June 17, and the winner on August 26.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The member for Batman used her maiden speech yesterday to send a message to the government, and to Labor, that she would dedicate herself in parliament to the cause of humane <b>refugee</b> policy.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Kearney said the “shameful” treatment of <b>asylum</b>-seekers today was in stark contrast to the way in which Australia welcomed refugees after World War II.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are a rich country. We can afford to take more refugees,” she said. “I doubt, however, we can ­afford the ongoing cost to our ­national psyche of subjecting men, women and children to years of punitive, indefinite detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We must, as a priority, move the <b>asylum</b>-seekers off Manus and Nauru to permanent resettlement and ensure that indefinite detention never happens again.” Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton claimed “the wheels are falling off Labor’s border protection policies”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Labor now has a majority of its members in caucus who are ­opposed to stopping the boats and we see on the Mediterranean thousands of people still dying — so this problem for Australia has not gone away,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Kearney’s speech intensified pressure on Labor leader Bill Shorten ahead of the ALP conference, where the party’s left will seek to soften its support for offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The draft national platform, circulated ahead of the July conference, proposes an overhaul of the government’s home affairs portfolio and calls for <b>asylum</b>-seekers to be shifted out of mandatory detention after 90 days.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Delegates from the Labor for Refugees group will seek to go further, advocating a policy of bringing <b>asylum</b>-seekers from offshore detention centres to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Kearney, a member of Labor’s left, said the treatment of <b>asylum</b>-seekers was a “passionate and emotional issue” for voters in her inner-suburban Melbourne electorate. She said she was committed to increasing foreign aid to ensure <b>asylum</b>-seekers were supported as they fled conflicts overseas, and urged greater support for the <span class="companylink">UN <b>refugee</b> agency</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Kearney said she regretted the fact her seat was named after John Batman who, according to colonial artist John Glover, was “a rogue, thief, cheat, and liar, a murderer of blacks and the vilest man I have ever known”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She said she and thousands of her constituents would prefer the seat be named after 1850s Wurrundjeri leader Simon Wonga.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former ACTU president quoted militant unionist John Cummins, the last Victorian secretary of the deregistered Builders Labourers Federation, saying she had heeded his catchcry: “Dare to struggle, dare to win.” Ms Kearney said enterprise bargaining was “one-sided”, penalty rates had been cut and permanent workers were being forced to become independent contractors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She also called for an urgent shift away from coal-fired power, linking fossil-fuel use to the health of the Great Barrier Reef and noting Australia’s responsibilities under the Paris agreement.“In the task of transitioning ­energy generation to renewable sources we are committed to a just transition for workers and communities who rely on coal-based industries,” she said.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE impending monsoon rains are bearing down on the Rohingya <b>refugee</b> camps in Bangladesh and there’s no getting around it — it’s going to be a really tough time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I’ve just returned to Melbourne from three weeks working for Oxfam’s Rohingya crisis response team. I stood in the pouring rain in the Bangladeshi Rohingya <b>refugee</b> “mega-camp” and everywhere I looked, ramshackle shelters made of bamboo and tarpaulins stretched into the distance.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">People old and young were trying to find shelter from the downpour, and huge puddles were quickly forming across the narrow brick road, with water running down sandy hillside paths.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As I was trying to take photos of a deep tube well Oxfam was drilling to provide clean water, numerous Rohingya refugees offered to take me into their shelters to stay dry, or brought me umbrellas. Such was the kindness of people who had endured unspeakable horrors that forced them from Myanmar into neighbouring Bangladesh.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The camps are in what they call the pre-monsoon rains at the moment, where every couple of days a ferocious storm will hit for an hour or so. This rain is nothing like I’m used to. The falling water has an almost physical quality, beating down on you, and the rain can be so heavy you struggle to see the other side of a road.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trees are often blown over in the wind and almost immediately, huge puddles form everywhere, slowing cars and trucks on the sandy brick roads and draining into refugees’ flimsy shelters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s estimated that more than 600,000 people are living in the Rohingya <b>refugee</b> mega-camp — that’s a population bigger than Tasmania’s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The impact of the full monsoon on this many people in such desperate living conditions is what’s top of mind for aid workers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet despite this, I was struck by the way in which Rohingya refugees could find hope in what appeared to be a hopeless situation. They are denied citizenship in their own country and feel they have nowhere they belong and nowhere to call home right now. No one knows what their future holds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They’re awaiting monsoon rains likely to bring floods, landslides and potentially deadly waterborne diseases. The United Nations estimates up to 200,000 people are living in at-risk areas of the camps. As much as 2.5m of rain could fall on the camps over the next three months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the refugees I met certainly weren’t hopeless or despairing. Parents were working hard to reinforce their shelters, or volunteering for charities like Oxfam as community health trainers or with the <span class="companylink">UN</span> as labourers, helping to prepare the camps for the coming heavy rains. Among them was a young woman I met called Ayesha*, who was 18 years old. She fled to Bangladesh with her mother and three siblings after their father was killed in the violence in Myanmar.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It took them nearly five days to get to Bangladesh by <b>boat</b> and foot; others weren’t so lucky and drowned when their boats sank.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Life is tough in the camps without a father or husband — women can be missed or sidelined at aid distributions and, culturally, young women are not supposed to go out alone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But none of that had dampened Ayesha’s spirit. She put up her hand to volunteer and now runs community health training with her neighbours and other women.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She told me: “Now I work as an Oxfam volunteer, I teach people how to maintain good hygiene and I tell people what to do to have a good life. I feel good about it.” As for the children, they play football wherever they can find space, run through the camps in happy bunches, and practise English with aid workers: “Goodbye, how are you, I am fine.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IT’S hard not to make comparisons with Australia’s treatment of refugees. We have hundreds of refugees wasting away on Manus and Nauru because we either won’t find acceptable alternatives for them or let them come to our shores.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated countries on Earth and much less wealthy than Australia, has given shelter to more than one million Rohingya refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While it’s true the Australian government has given generously to the Rohingya response, on Budget night, yet again it cut Australia’s tiny aid budget.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was devastated when I heard the news, given I was witnessing the impact of Australian aid in the camps. It was funding Oxfam deep tube wells and innovative, long-lasting bio-fill toilets, and food and aid distributions managed by the United Nations agencies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At a time of global humanitarian crises, with more than 128 million people across the world in need of humanitarian assistance and protection, aid cuts — for the sixth year in a row — are a heartless and shortsighted move.</p>

Malcolm Turnbull has “waged a war on families” in the southeast Queensland electorate of Longman, opposition candidate Susan Lamb claimed last night, appearing alongside Bill Shorten in her first major campaign offensive of the knife-edge by-election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was Ms Lamb’s first public appearance since the citizenship debacle that prompted her and two other Labor MPs and a senator to quit parliament last week.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The “community town hall” event in Caboolture came amid a fresh attack on One ­Nation, which opposition frontbencher Jim Chalmers attacked as subservient to the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One Nation’s decision to direct preferences to Labor at the last election helped Ms Lamb rout Liberal National incumbent Wyatt Roy, and the by-election result is likely to hinge on the level of support for One Nation among voters in the working-class community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Lamb told the event: “This is a government that really has waged a war on families in the Moreton Bay region.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I know how good life can be in this area, but I also know Malcolm Turnbull is really hurting families in this area, whether it’s from early childhood to TAFE students, to trainees and pensioners, in every single household, this government is ignoring the backbone of our community and instead is promoting and supporting the top end of town.” The Opposition Leader promised to support small business with a “buy Australian, buy local” approach to public procurement, and said tax relief for any business would be “tied as closely as possible” to an economic outcome.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten pledged to turn back <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats, saying the Rudd-Gillard government’s immigration policies had encouraged people to take unsafe <b>boat</b> voyages that killed many. But, he said, he did not support indefinitely detaining refugees and would resettle refugees from Manus Island and Nauru elsewhere in the region.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I promise never to use a group of refugees to try and get a vote in Australia,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Chalmers, opposition finance spokesman, yesterday said One Nation’s senators were with the government “every single step of the way” on health and education funding, pensions and corporate taxes. “When Malcolm Turnbull says jump, Pauline Hanson and One Nation say how high. It’s getting harder and harder to work out where the Liberal Party ends and One Nation begins,” Dr Chalmers said.One Nation candidate Matthew Stephen, a small businessman and tradesman, attacked Bill Shorten as “shifty”.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Roman Quaedvlieg, writing in The Weekend Australian today, ­issued the warning to the ALP ahead of its national conference in July, saying any move to placate Labor progressives by softening border settings will be ruthlessly exploited by people-smugglers.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg, who until he was sacked from his job in March following a relationship with a young woman he allegedly helped obtain a job, was the ­nation’s Border Force commissioner, meaning he had far-reaching access to the intelligence agencies’ holdings on people-smuggling networks in Southeast and Central Asia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg told The Weekend Australian that authorities learnt smugglers would confiscate the phones of prospective <b>asylum</b>-seekers, supposedly to ensure the security of the <b>boat</b> voyage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In reality, it was to shield them from the strong public messaging that was being sent under the (Operation Sovereign Borders) auspice regarding turn-backs and offshore processing, all of which was working as a deterrent,’’ Mr Quaedvlieg said, adding that people-smugglers “trade in deceptions’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg said even though the changes being considered by Labor were minor in ­nature, they risked being framed by people-smugglers as seismic shifts in Australian policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“As it currently stands, (Labor) looks wobbly and that’s exactly the vulnerability people-smugglers are looking for in their relentless marketing of passages to Australia,’’ Mr Quaedvlieg writes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s draft policy proposal for its national conference proposed a 90-day detention limit. Opposition immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann has since clarified the party’s position, ­affirming Labor’s support for offshore processing of boatpeople on Nauru and Manus Island and saying Labor does not have a “specific limit’’ for <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Nauru and Manus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the shift in position drew heavy fire from the Turnbull government, which accused Labor of “rolling out the welcome mat’’ to people-smugglers and potentially re-running the policy disaster of the Rudd years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg said there were 65 million displaced people throughout the world, a potential “human tsunami’’ that was being held back by Operation Sovereign Borders, the tough suite of border-security measures introduced by the Abbott government in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Quaedvlieg said the factional differences within Labor, which has seen the left agitate to soften offshore processing on ­humanitarian grounds, were “dangerous’’ and could trigger ­exploratory voyages by Southeast Asian smugglers that could quickly morph into a “veritable flotilla of human desperation targeting our shores’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since being dismissed from his job as Border Force commissioner, Mr Quaedvlieg has become an outspoken com­men­tator on public affairs. His foray into immigration politics coincided with the announcement yesterday that his former deputy, Mike Outram, would succeed him as Border Force commissioner.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A potential human tsunami, held back under strain by the architecture of Operation Sovereign Borders, is something the opposition needs to think about seriously. If it manages to win the next election, its border protection policy will dictate whether or not it makes a cameo, one-term appearance in Australia’s contemporary political theatre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s brains trust and party stalwarts will descend on Adelaide in July for the 48th ALP national conference to debate its national platform — effectively its federal election campaign strategy. The recently released draft policy paper, of course, deals with the contentious issue of border security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s hard not to feel for Labor’s policy drafters. They must appease the party’s left, which will vehemently oppose any policy that sounds like the successful Tony Abbott-Scott Morrison mix of turning back the boats and offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But they must also accommodate Bill Shorten’s concession to those policies. He knows that Operation Sovereign Borders cured the crisis that under Labor last time saw illegal arrivals at the rate of one leaky <b>boat</b> every six hours and led to so many deaths at sea, overflowing detention centres, fatigued maritime resources, and public concern about our insecure borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Labor cannot afford to be vague on its border security policy. If it plans to maintain OSB — and I have been informed by a trusted Labor insider that it intends to do exactly that — then the party needs to be crystal clear on that point. Right now it looks wobbly and that’s exactly the vulnerability that people-smugglers are looking for in their relentless marketing of passages to Australia as they seek to relieve prospective <b>asylum</b>-seekers of $5000 to $10,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I have no doubt that in circulating its draft policy the Labor machine did not expect it to be displayed on the smartphones of people-smugglers as they loiter for customers in the Sarinah shopping mall near Jakarta’s <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> head office. I also have no doubt that is exactly what is happening right now. The marketing pitch? “Look, no mention of turnbacks. And here, a rule saying no one will spend more than 90 days in detention! Give me a deposit of $1000 and I’ll make sure you and your family have a secured berth on the first <b>boat</b> we send as soon as Australia goes to an election. Labor has been leading the polls for 60 consecutive polls now and is sure to win!” It matters little that Labor’s spokesman on immigration and border protection, Shayne Neumann, has since clarified that its 90-day mandatory detention limit does not apply to offshore processing — this is what the Australian Border Force is trying to do with onshore detention — because the draft policy is being pitched to desperate people searching for a glimmer of hope. And they find not just a glimmer but the glow of false gold in the current draft policy and its language.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s actual border security policy — as I read it, and as several of the drafters have told me — is “business as usual”, except for a renewed effort to resettle people from Manus and Nauru into third countries. But the factional differences in the party on this issue are dangerous.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Without party solidarity underpinning a clear, unambiguous and explicit posture on Australia’s border settings, the sporadic launch of explorative boats from Indonesia and Malaysia under a newly elected Labor government will rapidly morph into a veritable flotilla of human desperation targeting our shores.Roman Quaedvlieg is the former commissioner of the Australian Border Force.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His sister had made the same perilous trip two years earlier and today is an Australian citizen, married with children and living in Sydney, so he too believed he could make a successful resettlement journey.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the now 27-year-old Iraqi is still sitting in detention on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea facing an uncertain future with Australia’s deal with the United States to resettle refugees being held in Australian detention apparently unravelling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the past couple of weeks US immigration officials have been interviewing prospective new citizens at Australian offshore immigration detention centres on Manus Island and nearby Nauru but most are being rejected US entry.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is despite Australian immigration and security checks confirming their <b>refugee</b> status and them being put forward to US officials for the one-off deal to take in 1250 refugees being held by Australia under the deal brokered with the Obama administration and reluctantly adopted under President Donald Trump.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Perhaps it’s no coincidence that those being rejected are from countries on Trump’s much maligned travel-ban list, notably Iran, Somalia and also Iraq, which was only removed from the list last year after recognition it was now a counter-terrorism ally. Why they were rejected is unknown but the move also coincided this week with the diplomatic spat between the US and Iran, and the rescinding of the Obama brokered nuclear-sanctions deal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So is the <b>refugee</b> strategy over which Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had the infamous “difficult” telephone call with Trump also now going into reverse?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ahmed, a construction worker by trade, hopes not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’ve done my interviews and it was hard; now I wait and see,” he tells The Saturday Telegraph through the detention razor wire after completing a 7½ hour interview with US officials.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They didn’t answer me when I am going to the US, but they say they were waiting for the process, but it looks like no Iraqis from Manus or Nauru are going to the US. We are not sure but we are guessing we have been banned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are friends (allies) these days with Americans but we don’t know what’s happening. I have something to offer. I’ve been here for five years. The mood here is sad; everyone is worried particularly with the news now from Nauru that Iraqi, Iranian and Somalis are being rejected.” Of the more than 150 people interviewed by US officials so far this week, more than half have been rejected and others either accepted or told to wait and see. Those who have been accepted have included Pakistanis, Afghans and Rohingya people from Myanmar. One Iranian woman was also accepted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So far, 165 refugees from Nauru and 84 from PNG have resettled in the US, including from Iran and Somalia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are now about 940 refugees still in Nauru, 750 in PNG and 400 others in Australia in detention. Even if the US accepts the full 1250 quota, up to 500 others will miss out and remain in offshore Australian detention limbo.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The thing’s in tatters; they’ve got no solution … The fact that Trump has thumbed his nose at Iranians and Somalis means there will now be several more hundreds of people, because they account for half of those refugees in Nauru and Manus,” <span class="companylink"><b>Refugee</b> Action Coalition</span> spokesman Ian Rintoul said yesterday. He says the process is a farce and although the US says there is no ban on certain nationalities, it is improbable so many from Iran and Somalia in particular could now be turned down and no coincidence both countries are on the travel ban list.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rintoul has called on Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to step in and resolve the issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink"><b>Refugee</b> Council of Australia</span> CEO Paul Power says the problem is Australia’s reliance on another country, and its processes and criteria, to take responsibility for what is regarded as Australia’s issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He says the US is doing Australia a favour but given the lack of transparency, the rejected refugees were unlikely to be taken to a third country, which would not know why they had been rejected by the US.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Power says 75 per cent of those held on the islands have been deemed to be in need of protection from persecution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The difficulty for refugees being rejected is that there is no alternative apparently available to them,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We need a plan B and probably a plan C for those who we know from the examination process face a real risk of persecution if they return home but don’t have other options available.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The current government’s strategy seems to be to let the US process run its course completely before making decisions of next steps but they are not in control of how long that process will be.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s a human disaster, it’s a financial disaster, it’s a foreign policy disaster for Australia and yet there seems to be so little awareness of that within the country and the resolution of these disasters is in the hands of others, not in the hands of Australia.” There was even more confusion this week with 23 refugees who had been accepted into the US, and were supposed to travel in January, still waiting in Port Moresby for their tickets and having to undergo new medical tests as the delay voided previous tests.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton’s office says decisions on resettlement are for the <span class="companylink">US Government</span> to make and it is conducting its own assessments. A spokeswoman says the process is continuing and “further decisions by US authorities are expected in due course”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the Iranian question, she says Dutton had made clear this week if the US did not take them but they were found to be owed protection they would be staying in PNG or could resettle permanently in Nauru or Cambodia, under a recently struck deal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another <b>refugee</b> interviewed, who asked not to be named, says he could never return home or stay on Nauru or Manus. “The point is I have been here for five years and I told them (Americans) there is no going back,” he says.“I just want to start a life so I’ve done my interview and we just have to wait and see what happens next.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton warned yesterday that New Zealand was being touted as a stepping stone by snakehead groups seeking to exploit visa-free travel across the Tasman. This follows the interception in Malaysian waters of a tanker ship that had been modified to carry 131 Sri Lankan <b>asylum</b>-seekers to New Zealand or possibly Australia.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A <b>refugee</b> support group in Sri Lanka revealed that people smugglers had been selling places on an “unusually large <b>boat</b>” that would try first for the New Zealand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“People realise that New Zealand is a back-door way into Australia, that New Zealand is a comparable society to Australia,” Mr Dutton said. He warned that more than 14,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers were waiting in Indonesia for the boats to start up again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a carefully worded response, Ms Ardern said New Zealand’s focus was on ensuring people-smugglers’ boats did not leave port in Asia. “What matters for us is preventing anyone being put at risk in the first instance because it is a dangerous, treacherous, lethal piece of water,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While New Zealand does not have Australia’s controversial deterrents to <b>asylum</b>-seekers landing by <b>boat</b> — they instead have been sent to camps in Nauru or Papua New Guinea, halting arrivals for the past four years — Ms Ardern insisted people-smuggling carried heavy penalties and “those individuals would be pursued if they were ever in New Zealand waters”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pressed on whether she would support any move by Australia to ban people given <b>refugee</b> status in New Zealand from crossing the Tasman, she said: “That’s a matter for the Australian government.” A heavily pregnant Ms Ardern, who is counting down to the birth of her first child next month, ­swapped notes yesterday with former US first lady and so-nearly president Hillary Clinton, who spoke in Auckland ahead of appearances in Sydney and Melbourne this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Clinton presented the 37-year-old PM with a gift every Kiwi child simply must have: a colourful “Buzzy Bee’’. Over breakfast, Ms Ardern said they discussed geopolitics, the future of work and “being a mum in the political frame”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Emphasising the meeting was informal, she dismissed suggestions Donald Trump might take a dim view of her catch-up with Mrs Clinton, a vocal critic of his White House.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was a private meeting and in my view does not change the importance of our relationship with the United States and whoever’s the administration at the time,” Ms Ardern said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked if she would make time to sit down with Mr Trump were he not president, she said: “I doubt if I would have been asked. If he had offered, I certainly would have done it.” Mrs Clinton’s whistle-stop tour is to share stories from her memoir, What Happened, at concert-like events in Melbourne on Thursday night and in Sydney on Friday, to be moderated by former prime minister Julia Gillard.Given that she commands up to $US300,000 ($400,000) an appearance on the speaking circuit, the evening does not come cheap: tickets start at $195, ranging up to $495 for VIP seating.</p>

Peter Dutton is correct. Any softening of the Coalition’s hardline border protection regime, including offshore processing and detention, would open the floodgates to another wave of <b>asylum</b>-seekers chancing their lives to make it to Australia by <b>boat</b>. The interception of a <b>boat</b> carrying 131 Sri Lankans in Malaysia, bound for Australia or New Zealand, confirms people-smuggling has not gone away; Operation Sovereign Borders is keeping it at bay. Any watering down would risk a repeat of the Rudd-Gillard years when 50,000 people arrived on 800 boats and 1200 people drowned.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whatever pressures Bill Shorten faces from his party’s left flank, he has shown Labor is not to be trusted on this issue. In November, the Opposition Leader said the government should consider accepting New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s offer to resettle 150 refugees from Manus Island. He claimed Malcolm Turnbull should “have the conversation and see if we can make this proposal work”. It would work for the criminals who control people-smuggling rackets, who realise that travellers who arrive in New Zealand immediately qualify for Australian visas. It would be people-smugglers’ strongest selling point since the Rudd government dismantled John Howard’s Pacific Solution in 2008.The irresponsibility of some ALP members wanting <b>asylum</b>-seekers to be shifted out of detention after 30 days is a sign of soft heads, not soft hearts. So is the push by Labor activists to challenge the party’s support for <b>boat</b> turnbacks at the national conference in July. Such changes would see Australian detention centres again being overcrowded for years on end. It could endanger national security. Ms Ardern says New Zealand is no easy target as people-smugglers would face heavy penalties if they entered its waters. People-smugglers do not care if their underpaid underlings and leaky tubs are impounded. Their sole interest is pocketing thousands of dollars from each passenger before they set sail. New Zealand has nothing like Operation Sovereign Borders in place. Australia’s policy is New Zealand’s best defence, as well as ours.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The need for Operation Sovereign Borders is as vital today as it was when it began.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Labor believes in strong borders, offshore processing, regional resettlement and turnbacks when safe to do so because we know it saves lives at seas.” The flow of boats has dropped dramatically since 2013 when Australia began turning back boats and introduced tough policies that ruled out accepting <b>boat</b> arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers arrived under the Rudd and Gillard Labor governments and more than 1200 drowned.</p>

Exploitation of individuals and families by people-smugglers is repugnant and will not be ­tolerated.’’ Malaysian inspector-general of police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said four Malaysians and three Indonesians were detained after police raided the fishing <b>boat</b>. Those men, plus four Sri Lankans suspected to have been involved in ­organising the trip, are being held under the country’s Special Security Offences Act, while the ­remaining 127 civilians are in ­immigration detention in Johor.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">T he conventional wisdom in politics is that by-elections are bad news for incumbent governments. And there’s plenty of evidence to support that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The decision by Labor’s Tim Hammond to pull the plug on his political career in favour of a better family life got many plaudits, but behind the warm fuzzies is lots of angst within the Opposition at the prospect of a testing by-election.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So that turns the by-election axiom on its head.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Within days, Hammond’s resignation has exposed the bitter factional brawling which is only ever just under the surface in WA Labor since the dominant <span class="companylink">United Voice</span> faction started throwing its weight around under former leader Dave Kelly, now a McGowan Government minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And many in Labor know that a by-election in Perth — which it holds by only a 3.3 per cent margin, but has not lost since 1983 — is not the lay down misere it might appear.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It would be a humiliating loss for Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten who most people think is on a rails run to government next year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The well-regarded Hammond may have saved his own family, but he’s put the spotlight right on the messy one that is Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Liberals are toying with not running a candidate, ostensibly because they don’t have the money. Frankly, they can’t afford not to run, if just for a narrow loss.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If it is true that there are signs of Shorten’s momentum flagging in recent weeks even against the tide of bad news for the Turnbull Government, then the Liberals will not get a better chance in WA to test it before next year’s election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And it will also test the McGowan Government’s popularity with a host of broken promises, punishing cost-of-living increases and a tough Budget next week taking the gloss off Labor’s brand and allowing the Liberals to point to the differences between the party’s undertakings and reality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the 2016 Federal election, when Liberal stocks in WA were low as the Barnett government careered towards its demise, Hammond got a primary vote of just 37.36 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A virtually unknown Liberal racked up 42.31 and the Greens decided the result with 17.07, of which 83.7 per cent flowed to Labor through the final preference distribution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was the best support in Perth for the Greens and one it is unlikely to replicate. In its Left heartland, encapsulated within the smaller State seat of Perth, the Greens got 14.4 per cent last year and that result would be significantly watered-down when conservative parts of the wider Federal seat come into play.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It goes without saying, that for the Liberals to have any chance at all they would need to come up with a strong candidate. They were blindsided by Hammond’s announcement and even though the general election is only a year away, there is not one in the wings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no doubt that the scuttling of his social media accounts by Labor State secretary Patrick Gorman this week was not just a sign his hat was in the ring, but that he thought he had the pre-selection wrapped up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gorman was in a perfect position to know of Hammond’s plans and how to benefit from them. That quickly came unstuck.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Labor’s byzantine factional system, Perth is a Right seat. But Gorman is from the Left and linked to <span class="companylink">United Voice</span> . The dominance of <span class="companylink">United Voice</span> in party pre-selections in recent years has seen the emergence of a new factional grouping called Progressive Labor, which has quickly grown to nearly equal in strength, but because it is an amalgam of both Right and Left unions does not always hold fast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A sign of that is the plan put forward by Progressive Labor under which Senator Louise Pratt — previously dudded for her seat in Parliament by a dirty factional deal — would contest Perth and Gorman would take her Senate spot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Pratt is aligned to the metal workers union which is not part of Progressive Labor, having been pulled out of the alliance by its national body.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, she was clearly the better candidate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The prospect of a Labor machine man like Gorman running in the seat should fill the Liberals with glee. He’s one of those candidates an opponent would hope manages to doorknock the whole electorate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gorman has some substantial baggage. While some say he masterminded the last State election win, it was a drover’s dog kind of genius.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was a Kevin Rudd acolyte in a State where the former prime minister is as popular among older voters as parking inspectors and arthritis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gorman surrounds himself with young Labor acolytes of his own, but he’s not popular with the mature hard heads who see through his techno-babble.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While this wrangling has the potential to spill over into a bitter split, it is more likely that the prospect of brand damage will cool things down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are other problems on the horizon for the party than just its infighting. The timing of the by-election could make life particularly interesting with Labor’s national conference due on July 26-28. Already we are seeing Labor’s most debilitating policy weakness — <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy — coming into play as the Left seeks to change Shorten’s hard-won position on offshore processing and <b>boat</b> turn-backs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even the slightest suggestion this week by Labor’s Penny Wong of watering-down Labor’s refugees platform at the conference brought the claim from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that she was “rolling out the welcome mat to the people smugglers”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is manna from heaven for the Liberals. And once Labor’s internal disarray on <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy is exposed it leads inexorably to Shorten’s links to the country’s most militant and disliked union.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was the CFMEU that saved Shorten from a humiliating defeat on the issue at Labor’s 2015 conference — and he’s been in their pocket ever since.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A fight on these terms in the Perth by-election is simply a no-brainer for the Liberals, win, lose or draw.</p>

But a band of activists and friends are working to secure a better future for him and other <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At first sight, the black daypack in a display case off the central gallery at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is fairly unobtrusive. For most visitors headed to the museum’s larger exhibits it’s easy to overlook. But for one man, Ismail Wafaee, a Hazara man from Afghanistan who made the dangerous <b>boat</b> crossing from Indonesia to Australia in a bid for a better life, that daypack and its contents once meant everything. In it was everything he owned: a couple of T-shirts, a pair of jeans and a jacket. Most laundry lists are longer.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These days Wafaee leads a quieter life in the city fringes of Hobart, living in the house of his friends and fierce supporters Helen Semler and Ian Terry. In the six years they’ve known each other, Wafaee has been showered with much-­needed practical and emotional support by Semler and Terry, who continue to advocate for his right to permanent residency in Australia. Last year Wafaee secured a temporary protection visa, which allows him to live and work in the country for five years. It also gives him the freedom of travel, but not to Afghanistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Within the community, some individuals have opened their homes to <b>asylum</b> seekers in need. One stalwart is Margaret Eldridge, an activist, author and teacher. She’s a vocal member of the Tassie Nannas, a group of protesters who knit peacefully every Friday in Elizabeth Mall in a silent demonstration against offshore detention. Over the years Eldridge has hosted 12 <b>asylum</b> seekers for varying lengths of time from a couple of nights to two years. In 2007 she was appointed a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia for her work with migrants and refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Community and networking were also the catalyst for the friendship that has formed between young Hazara migrant turned law student and entrepreneur Haji Alizada and Julia Verdouw, a member of a faith-based group who has rallied her neighbourhood to provide ongoing support for new arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dean Barker, head of Red Cross Tasmania’s migration ­support programs says: “There is an enormous amount of goodwill within the Tasmanian community and people have been mobilised to help. Their assistance is making people feel ­welcome here, in the face of what they may see on the news about <b>boat</b> people that doesn’t make them feel so important. You can’t put a value on how it feels to be welcomed. It makes a huge difference.” Barker says the research shows that refugees, within five years, are pretty much all contributing to the economy. “The economic contribution of migrants and refugees in particularly well documented,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration laws mandate that people who have come to Australia by <b>boat</b> – and most of the <b>asylum</b> seekers in Tasmania have arrived by <b>boat</b> – are placed in detention, some for a considerable amount of time. They face an ­unknown future because of protracted visa applications and are often unable to make long-term plans for themselves and their families, take out loans to buy houses or easily access further education.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are about 100 <b>asylum</b> seekers living in Tasmania. These include Hazara people from Afghanistan, Kurdish people from Iran and the Tamil people from Sri Lanka.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the past, <b>asylum</b> seekers have been supported by the Federal Government with a small income – equivalent to 89 per cent of the standard Newstart <span class="companylink">Centrelink</span> payment [roughly $247 per week, advocates say] – and were provided with housing assistance and ­access to torture and trauma counselling while they made the transition to a new life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As of last month, that assistance — provided via the Status Resolution Support Service program — has been cut to “work ready” <b>asylum</b> seekers who are not yet working, or who are studying for work qualifications or to improve their English.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With the withdrawal of this support many <b>asylum</b> seekers have had to change tack and find immediate work, which advocates say may make them vulnerable to exploitation in the workforce and less likely to settle successfully.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The SRSS is not a social welfare program,” says a spokesperson from the Department of Home Affairs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is designed to provide support for certain non-citizens who are in the Australian community temporarily while their immigration status is being determined.” For Semler, Terry and Eldridge the changes are another tipping point. But they are ­determined to continue to give a voice to this marginalised group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Semler says, “We’re all human. We are just incredibly lucky to have landed where we did when we were born”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Helen Semler, Ian Terry and Ismail Wafaee North Hobart couple Helen Semler and Ian Terry met Ismail Wafaee, 34, not long after he’d been released from Hobart’s Pontville ­detention centre in 2012. At the time, Ismail had been in detention for more than two years – first on Christmas Island, then 18 months in Darwin before ultimately transferring to Pontville, north of Hobart.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Helen and Ian are good people and we get on very well. They are happy to have me here and I’m happy to stay here, too,” Wafaee says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They are cyclists and bushwalkers and I’m one of those, too. I love cycling. “I’m a part of their family. If I come in late at night, I know I can just go in and eat at their fridge and find out what they’ve got for leftovers. When I need a car, I drive Helen’s.” Semler, a counsellor, and Terry, a retired historian and former curator at TMAG, have nearly always had someone living in their self-contained apartment, which forms part of the main house.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The space is too big for us,” Semler says. “If you’ve got the space, there’s always someone who can use it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When I met Ismail I told him that we have a little flat and he may be interested in staying there. Not long after that he came around to have a look and he’s been there ever since.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When Ismail moved in six years ago he was ­recovering from his ordeal in detention, which took a long time. We took him cycling, camping and bushwalking. We’d do day-to-day things. If I was going into town to do some things, we’d walk together and chat. And when he was allowed to work, eventually, I helped line him up with his first job.” Wafaee now works in marine construction, ­building on the skills he developed as a labourer while working in Iran, one of many stops on his journey to Australia. He is often away, travelling to where the work is, which at the moment is mostly on the East Coast building jetties or in Victoria constructing ­marina bridges and <b>boat</b> ramps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he speaks, he is reluctant to discuss much of his past, which is studded with accounts of close family members who were murdered or disappeared. He glosses over the details of his escape from Afghanistan and only skims the surface of his time in Iran, where he was forced by necessity to work as an illegal immigrant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Terry explains: “Most of the men from the ­Pontville detention centre were Hazara Muslims, who on the whole are a gentle mob. They have no sense of entitlement because they’ve been persecuted in Afghanistan and other countries for so long. They don’t complain, they just get on with things.” But when asked about his future, Wafaee’s ­countenance changes. He becomes animated and he talks about his work in the community as a DJ. He explains that his interest in music was piqued while learning guitar in detention and his greatest hope now is to give back to society through his music.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I love music and I’m planning to do an audio course and there are other courses I’d like to do too,” Wafaee says. “I did go to school in Afghanistan for five years, but then I had to leave [over fears for his own safety]. Then I went to Iran and I didn’t get the chance.” Margaret Eldridge For Margaret Eldridge, AM, the motivation for sharing her home was simply a way to add some good experiences and memories to the many negative ones <b>asylum</b> seekers in Australia had been subjected to.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I just thought if they had somewhere caring to live, some ­decent food, car rides and homeliness, it might just help them,” Eldridge says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They know they can come here. They’re at the door and they ring to say, ‘can I come?’ and I say ‘where are you?’ and they’ll tell me they’re outside the front gate. You know, this is like a drop-in centre.” Eldridge, herself an immigrant, came to Hobart from the UK in 1964, aged 27, with a four-month-old baby in tow to join her British husband who was working at the university.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Nobody really invited me, I just came and nearly ­immediately I had voting rights and all sorts of things. I didn’t even have to have citizenship to have rights,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It makes her indignant to think on the country’s current ­treatment of refugees, and Eldridge has made it her life’s work to assist those in need.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was shortly after joining the Tasmanian <b>Asylum</b> Seeker Support service and attending its social pot luck dinners that Eldridge met her first Hazara boarder.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He had very little English, hardly any, she recalls. “He wasn’t joining in with his detention mates or anybody. He was just in his own world. I sat down beside him and was polite and friendly, but he didn’t respond to me, he didn’t look at me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I said, ‘if you can help me in my garden I can help you with English’. Then he looked at me. Eventually we exchanged ­addresses and it developed from that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We had an hour in the garden, talking all the time, naming things. Then we would bring that language inside and turn the experience we had in the garden into an English lesson. That is my profession, English as a second language teacher, so I wasn’t challenged by how to do it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It turned out he was highly intelligent. He lived on a farm and had he been able to continue his education before the ­<span class="companylink">Taliban</span> came he had wanted to be a teacher. He’s very ­inquisitive. He was just a delight to teach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The TASS group is still around. We may not see them for some time and then there’s some type of emergency and they contact us. And there seems to always be someone who’s ­waiting. I get a lot of phone calls.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have been able to direct other people into useful things to do and we’ve done a lot of protesting, but just offering a homely welcome to people who have a lot of trouble has been good. And it’s been good for us, too. There have been huge ­benefits for the rest of us. There has been support for me as an individual as well as me offering support to the <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’ve learnt so much, A: from doing what I do, but B: from the men and women themselves. We hear about their aspirations, about their hopes and fears. We learn about their culture. We can all cook Hazara food and Iranian food. When you have people in your own home, you pick up such a lot. And, of course, they at the same time, certainly when you’re sharing your home with them, are improving their English.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I usually do the cooking. I prefer it that way. I’ve had a lot of help in the kitchen, but the actual cooking is my department and my <b>asylum</b> seeker friends do the washing up, and that’s a really good exchange for me because I hate washing up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And I want this issue of <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus and Christmas Island resolved before I go to my grave. That sounds quite serious, but I’m 80, so if it hasn’t been resolved I’ll be kicking and screaming, ‘I can’t go yet’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I sometimes go to bed at night and I replay what’s been going on and it’s hard. But how much harder has it been for them.” Haji Alizada and Julia Verdouw Kicking a soccer ball around helped forge the friendship between Hazara <b>asylum</b> seeker Haji Alizada and <span class="companylink">University of Tasmania</span> social housing researcher Julia Verdouw.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now 23, Alizada is an entrepreneur, employer and first-year university student studying a combined arts/law degree at UTAS. He is the recipient of one of three UTAS scholarships designated for refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Haji is someone who has a lot of potential. I think he will be a real leader,” says Verdouw. “He’s a strong ­advocate and it’s been a real joy watching him stand up and say, ‘this is my journey and this is what I have to offer and I really want to give as much as I can to this place’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He’s really grabbed his time in Australia with two hands. He’s embraced as much as he can in terms of community and life, and he’s a real inspiration to us as well in that way.” Confident, eloquent and charming, Alizada is a rising star. Aged 16 he left his immediate and large ­extended family in Afghanistan and travelled on his own by fishing <b>boat</b> to Christmas Island. He spent seven months in detention, including time in Pontville and eight months in community ­housing as an ­unaccompanied minor. After his release, Alizada made the decision to remain in Tasmania.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“For me, Tasmania is going to be the place where I’ll spend the rest of my life,” explains Alizada. “I do wish that my fellow friends who are in my position could study. I know so many people in my situation who want to study – who are hungry for it – but the current law doesn’t allow them, especially at university. Education is a basic human right and the law needs to change to reflect this.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’ve been living here for almost six years now. I’ve been loving my life here. I think it’s a great place, firstly the generosity of the people, and also the place, the ­environment. It’s a beautiful place. especially for someone who wants to study here or someone who wants to start from scratch,” says Alizada.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I want to give back to Australia. I think of Australia as home.” The pair meet often for dinner, and Alizada is a regular at Verdouw’s Wednesday night “big dinners” where neighbours and friends come together to share a meal and tackle some of life’s meatier problems.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think we’ve been a real surrogate family in a way and we’ve embraced him as such,” Verdouw says. “And so just being able to walk alongside him and be there for the challenges and for the milestones that he’s had over the past five years has been rewarding.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Our kids love him. He’s a bit like an older brother or uncle figure. He’s really physically strong, so it’s really fun watching him throw our kids into the air and just doing family stuff together.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He’s got amazing stories of growing up, amazing stories of survival and just getting to Australia.” She says since arriving in Tasmania, Alizada’s persistence in the face of challenges, and his ability to be independent from an early age, has been remarkable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But in all the stories that he tells, you can see this positivity, this unquenchable sense of ‘it will be OK’,” she says. “And I do have a sense that one of the reasons his parents wanted him out of Afghanistan was for similar reasons. Whatever he did he drew attention in a way. He was already very active since the age of 13 or 14 in his own community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He’s really special to our family.”Alizada returns serve: “I love the time I spend with Julia’s family. Julia is humble. She is open and she is a very positive person. I wouldn’t be here without the help of some of my friends, especially Julia.”</p>

I decided that if I died trying to start a new life somewhere else at least I’d only die once; staying where I was, was like a daily torture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I flew to India then Malaysia then Indonesia. After a few months in Indonesia, I boarded a small <b>boat</b>. I was one of 45 men on it. The voyage was terrifying. The <b>boat</b> had a leak and there was limited food and water. It was also stormy.

Labor opened the way to 50,000 people arriving on boats in five years, 1200 drownings, thousands of men, women and children detained, and criminal syndicates lining their pockets. Against that background, it almost beggars belief that Labor’s “consultation draft’’ policy blueprint, circulated ahead of the party’s national conference in July, calls for <b>asylum</b>-seekers to be shifted out of mandatory detention after 90 days. It also says mandatory detention should be used only as a last resort. The alternatives are not spelled out, which would delight people-smugglers anxious to revive their deadly, lucrative trade in this region. They would have no shortage of customers prepared to risk all in seeking passage to Australia.Managing the influx that occurred under Labor’s watch has cost billions of dollars, with hundreds of people in detention for almost five years. Policies that added to their numbers would be unconscionable. So would forcing Australians, against their will, to settle large numbers of <b>asylum</b>-seekers in the community.

I covered the Obama and Trump elections in America, hiked the mountains of Kashmir, trekked through Patagonia and took a <b>boat</b> up the <span class="companylink">Amazon</span> in Peru. I've lived in London, Boston and Kuala Lumpur, and have done stints of study in both Indonesia and Yemen.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE WORST THING ABOUT A JOB THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TRAVEL IS I miss home. I miss my family. And I often miss my friends' weddings.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Former Liberal leader Brendan Nelson said the memorial should house a contemporary exhibit for navy personnel which would include a part on turning back boats during Operation Sovereign Borders.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We're not about to have an exhibition on border protection," Dr Nelson said. "[The memorial is] completely apolitical. This is an as institution that is free of party politics."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Operation Sovereign Borders was a controversial policy implemented by former prime minister Tony Abbott and criticised by United Nations representatives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Nelson said he did not want to put the memorial in a position where it was a cheerleader or critic of government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He initially suggested the exhibit to The Australian which he said "took an egg beater" to his comments, focusing on a small part of the $500 million redevelopment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Nelson told The Sunday Age the suggestion had nothing to do with his ties to the Liberal Party, and "everything to do with my immense respect for the men and women of the Australian Defence Force".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The director drew the criticism of Greens leader Richard Di Natale who said Operation Sovereign Borders had no place in the memorial. "In decades to come, Australians will be ashamed of the policies maintained by the Australian government during this era - and commemorating it alongside our courageous Anzacs is wholly inappropriate," Senator Di Natale said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Nelson said he had tried to contact Senator Di Natale.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The exhibit has not actually been planned but Dr Nelson said it could be part of a larger exhibit on navy personnel defending Australia's borders.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WHY was the Hunter Valley town of Maitland so named? One locally popular theory is that it was named after the commander of the British warship Bellerophon on blockade duty off France in 1815.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The battle of Waterloo had recently been fought and the 'scourge of Europe' Napoleon Bonaparte, once a political non-entity who had risen to become the all-conquering French emperor, was defeated at last.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The surrendering General Bonaparte had sought refuge on the British frigate intending to seek <b>asylum</b> in England. Instead, he was banished to a bleak South Atlantic island where he died six years later, in May 1821.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Captain Frederick Maitland commanded the <span class="companylink">Royal Navy</span>'s Bellerophon taking Napoleon into permanent exile. And Maitland NSW later became home to many British war veterans from the Napoleonic wars who settled here to farm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, it's not a wild stretch to believe Maitland township was re-named from Wallis Plains (a name originally given to it in 1818 by colonial governor Lachlan Macquarie) in honour of Captain Maitland R.N. But is it true?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hunter history researcher Suzanne Martin has been puzzled for years and recently did a bit more sleuthing. Her search led to a letter in the Maitland Mercury on February 12,1885. Labelled 'The Hunter 50 years ago', the letter - submitted by a Dungog resident - is a valuable insight into the valley's past life, if the author was being entirely truthful. The published letter contained an extract of another letter written supposedly by an octogenarian living in Nelson, New Zealand, who had formerly lived in Dungog in 1835.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The unnamed NZ letter writer spoke of Dungog being covered with small ti-trees when he first arrived there in April 1832. He remembered no homes at Dungog, Raymond Terrace, Seaham, Hinton, Clarence Town and also in the river township of Morpeth. This was also known not as Morpeth, but as 'The Green Hills', or 'St Michael', the archangel's name being painted on a hulk moored in the river and used as a store ship, like a grocer shop.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Miller the <b>boat</b> builder was squatted down in the forest which stille (sic) bears his name" (today's Millers Forest).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The letter writer claimed Raymond Terrace took its name from a drunken surveyor who was there for up to nine months and had laid out the township.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The writer continued: "The Paterson township was called 'Old Banks' and was the end of the world". As Paterson was the older settlement, Maitland at that time was called 'New Banks', or 'Wallace's (sic) Plains' after soldier James Wallis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to the old pioneer at letter's end, Maitland "took its name from Sir George Maitland, at that time Under Secretary for the Colonies and MP for the Borough of Whitchurch in Hampshire, England."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Well, it's not conclusive proof, but it might do for the moment. Sir George was around in the 1830s, so the timing for the official re-naming to Maitland (in 1833) seems right.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Suzanne Martin, a former Maitland girl herself, said: "I'm pleased to know at last who our Maitland was named for."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Maitland named after a long-forgotten English politician? I'd never have guessed it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Speaking of Napoleon Bonaparte, he's still very much in the public eye almost 200 years after his death on the remote island of St Helena.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The latest effort is a hefty book by Oxford University professor Michael Broers. Napoleon, The Spirit of the Age (Allen & Unwin $59.99). It is an impressive, scholarly work and volume II of the Corsican wolf's biography covering 1805-1810. Drawing on new research, copious detail and Napoleon's newly edited letters, the book states that it allows us to hear Napoleon's true voice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The book traces his extraordinary stamina to mastermind a series of victories, including at Austerlitz, which brought him to the borders of Russia, while at the same time his own family struggled to survive. It's an intriguing and revealing study in power and audacity, of how Napoleon struck ruthlessly with his Grande Armee, rampaging across the old continent of Europe on a blood-drenched mission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Author Broers remarks that what had begun as a desperate gamble in 1805 to save himself, ended in humiliation and defeat for his foes, hammered with a truly multi-national European army, one that was now almost invincible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">HOW time flies. Last Saturday marked the 100th anniversary of the death of a famous, feared German World War I flying ace, the Red Baron, on the Western Front. But who really killed him? The controversy about who did in the legendary 'Red Falcon' - as he was known during his own lifetime - has re-ignited.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Baron Manfred von Richthofen, aged 25, had 80 confirmed kills under his belt when shot down over Australian trench lines on April 21, 1918. He was buried with full military honours by Australian soldiers, who fired a volley of rifle shots (pictured) over his coffin to mark the passing of their feared foe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As to who shot down von Richthofen, there are several contenders. One was a pursuing Canadian pilot Roy Brown, but most experts now rule him out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then there were the crews of two Australian machine guns on the ground, firing up. Australian gunnery sergeant Cedric Popkin is often credited as being the best candidate for bringing down the Red Baron's Fokker triplane.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian war historian Charles Bean believed it was probably Popkin's bullet that killed the Red Baron judging on the angle, a side-on, single fatal shot, which entered the German's heart. Decades later however, Popkin himself wasn't so sure he had fired the fatal shot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, is it possible a Central Coast man Robert Buie, a former WWI Lewis gunner with the 53rd battery AIF was responsible?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My money is on Buie. Even the headstone on his grave in Brooklyn Cemetery, off the old Pacific Highway, claims he downed the Red Baron and was then congratulated by four generals. Ironically, Buie, an oyster farmer, died while fishing at Mooney Mooney Creek on Anzac Day 1964.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gunner Buie himself was always convinced his bullets had hit the right side and front of the Baron's red triplane, which then banked and came down near abandoned brickworks. Aussie soldiers swarmed on the scene for souvenirs and tore apart the plane. Buie found Richthofen's fur-lined boots were missing, as was his helmet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Red Baron was equally famous because he'd painted his aeroplane bright scarlet. He'd commanded an elite flying unit widely known as Richthofen's (flying) Circus. Just before his end, von Richthofen had been chasing a terrified rookie Allied pilot when Canadian pilot Brown got on his tail, firing his guns. The hunter had become the hunted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite the mutual respect WWI aviators had for each other, von Richthofen was not held in high regard by everyone. Aviation writer David Crotty wrote WWI Aussie air mechanic Harold Edwards reported in 1990 that the Flying Circus hunted as a pack, up to 10 aircraft.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If they (then) saw something . . . the poor sod they caught below didn't stand a chance. Richthofen had the pleasure of shooting him down. I didn't look on that as being the wonderful dog-fighter he was credited as being," Edwards said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">C hris Ferreira was sitting on the porch of his parents’ farmhouse, looking out over the land he brought back from the brink, when the phone rang.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He put down the wire he was shaping into tree guards for the saplings he’d planted and went inside. When he came back, he said to his friend “I think I just got my first landcare job”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was the early 1990s and that phone call changed Chris’s life. On the other end was Rosanne Scott. Then, she was just someone offering him a job teaching kids about sustainable land use. Now, that job has led to the career that still fills him with white-hot purpose and that stranger on the line is his mentor and business partner — as well as his mother-in-law and grandmother to his son.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“All this from that one phone call,” Chris says. “It’s really been the most incredibly rich experience.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was fitting his life should take such a turn on that porch, in that house he grew up in, on that property that taught him the fundamental truth at the core of everything he has done since — that if we don’t care for our land, air and water, it cannot care for us. And without it, everything is truly lost.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The small farm was pristine when Chris’ parents bought it in 1973. Kwinana was well and truly the sticks — “Perth was a cut lunch and a water bag away,” Chris remembers — and his father was looking forward to fulfilling his dream of owning a riding school.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Soon, 30 horses were galloping across the property — destroying the green pasture and ring-barking the trees. Chris’ father, who had been a restaurateur and a car salesman but never a farmer, soon found himself having to buy in feed and pay vet bills for colic.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For seven-year-old Chris — now one of Perth’s foremost experts on landcare and sustainability — it was a formative experience. Even as he relished playing in the bush, exploring the swamp and building forts in the trees, he was acutely aware something wasn’t right.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“As I got stronger and healthier, as I fell in love with this land, I could see it getting more and more degraded,” Chris says. “It just etched into my head that we are nothing without healthy landscapes.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At 12, he decided to act, planting seedlings he germinated and putting up guards to stop the horses from damaging them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I just loved it,” Chris remembers. “I went to Kwinana High, which was a real working-class industrial area. I was lucky to have the farm but I was also the only one who milked a cow in the morning and loved trees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I remember the guidance officer saying ‘OK, you need to do work experience, so where do you want to work? Western Mining? <span class="companylink">Alcoa</span>?’ I said that I wanted to plant trees and learn about that. She was like ‘Whaaat?’”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chris ended up studying forestry at Canberra’s <span class="companylink">Australian National University</span>, before backpacking through India, Nepal, Bangladesh and parts of Africa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was really keen on seeing environmental action in other parts of the world but it really reinforced that where the most degraded landscapes were, civilisation was on its knees,” he says. “When I came home, I wanted to resurrect our farm.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chris spent years planning, designing and reshaping his parents’ land — sometimes whether they liked it or not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I loved my dad, he’s been dead nearly 10 years but he was so supportive, in a tacit way,” Chris says. “He just let me do whatever I liked. We had this cross-country course scattered through the property... It was pretty arrogant but I just basically said ‘landcare is the most important thing’, and carved up and dislocated his course and put fences up and planted trees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I remember him walking out to inspect what I had done and saying ‘Chris ... my cross-country course ...’ That was as angry as he ever got. It was his way of saying ‘I have to trust you and let you do this’.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His mum, however, was a natural “greenie”. “You had it ingrained in you that you didn’t throw rubbish on the ground and we always commented when people cleared trees,” Chris remembers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Dad went along with it and picked it up later but Mum really educated me from her own principles ... My mum is 88 and the most incredible bohemian artist; she sold her first stuff when she was 85. She has been an amazing inspiration to me. Persisting — that’s what I learnt.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The farm, meanwhile, became the veritable Phoenix from the ashes. “We reduced our feed bills by 30 per cent and our vet bills for colic went down, the horses were healthier and happier,” Chris says. “And it was just a more beautiful place to be, so when we sold, it was for a higher price.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, Chris had looked across the road at his neighbours. “I could see all the other farms had the same problems so I said to the farmers ‘Do you want to form a landcare group?’ They said ‘What the hell is that’,” Chris says with a laugh. “I told them that it basically meant I could get funding to plant trees on their property. It was a calling, really. I knew it was what I wanted to do.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One day, on the hunt for cheap seedlings, Chris paid a visit to the community group Men of the Trees, now Trillion Trees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I didn’t know who they were but I asked if there were any bargain, discount trees because I didn’t have much money,” Chris says. “I introduced myself to the nursery manager and she thought ‘this guy is just a tight arse trying to get money out of a community group’, like ‘mate, come on!’ I gave her my name in case they ever needed anyone and she rolled her eyes like ‘Yeah, great’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“A week later, the woman she was working with, Rosanne, got LEAP funding (Landcare Environment Action Program) and needed someone to teach landcare.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The nursery manager gave Rosanne three names and numbers — including that tight arse she didn’t like from last week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The first guy didn’t answer and I was the second call. She employed me right there on the phone. We taught eight programs and it was an amazing experience, because some of those kids did not want to be there. Basically, work for the dole is a very poor version of what LEAP was — we had them five days a week and taught them landcare and permaculture ... One of the students, who was 17 but became a good friend, told me ‘When you came out and started banging on about trees, we were just going ‘who is this d...head?’ But you kept passionately talking until we went ‘OK, that makes sense’.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When that nursery manager — “she came around on me eventually,” Chris says with a laugh — suggested they start a program for small landholders, it was a natural fit for Chris. To date, he has taught 18,000 of them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That experience also helped inspire his latest book, A Place in the Country, published next month. It is a comprehensive guide for hobby farmers, offering practical advice on everything from selecting a property to fencing, weed suppression, soil management and animal care.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In all his dealings with small landholders, Chris says one theme is consistent — many like the idea of the rural life but have little idea of what they’re actually in for.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“About a third will sell within three years because they just don’t know what they’re doing,” he says. “They go out in spring and see this beautiful place, the city is behind them and they look at their partner in a new light and say ‘let’s buy this property, all our problems will be solved’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It can work but in all likelihood, it doesn’t. There is a lack of appreciation for the amount of work required, the skills, the machinery, the planning, the ability to do the right things at the right time ... You have to think like a farmer.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The book will be launched at a Food Theatre event, through Chris’s umbrella business, The Forever Project. The dinner is part of his latest mission — to get the sustainability message to those who might not normally be open to it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Using the lure of a four-course gourmet meal and a beautifully festooned room, the aim is to get the audience to think more deeply about the food they’re eating and the land that produced it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The 20th century god is the chef and we will have a great chef, who has worked for George Calombaris, Neil Perry and Heston ... He will be on stage but so will we,” he says. “There will be four recipes; two are his amazing ways to make the food and the other two are ours, on how to turn sand into soil and how to grow organic food at home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When you get the chef saying ‘Yes, I only buy this’ or ‘I grow organic food’ or ‘I ferment now’, people think ‘Well, OK, the hippy is saying it and of course he would, but now the chef is saying it too’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It becomes an amazing way to get through to people, to get them to think differently, perhaps for the first time. To think that farmland is important and about the political support, financial support and backing that is needed.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The event will take place somewhere close to Chris’s heart — Perth City Farm. He was one of the four founders, led by Rosanne, who turned one of Perth’s most contaminated sites into a much-loved organic farm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1993, when they wanted to teach their students about urban renewal, they began “pestering” a contact at the East Perth Redevelopment Authority, who offered them half a hectare next to the train line.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Picture the most toxic, awful place — there was a massive pit full of oil and diesel, and congealed oil all over the place. The building was locked up and full of some bloke’s hoarded crap; old Formica kitchen stuff, bar tops, cash registers, just skips full of crazy stuff. Out where they have the gardens now is where they used to do the lead recycling,” Chris says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sitting among the greenery, where volunteers tend to seedlings and the farm’s chickens and workers from nearby offices sit in the cafe, it is hard to imagine how such a transformation was possible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The architect of all of this was Rosanne: four foot 10, Indian and feisty, she just outmanoeuvred and persevered and persisted, dodged and weaved all the people who wanted to turn this into a carpark,” Chris says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Eventually the government came on board with the peppercorn lease but it’s actually a great model because it gets almost no funding. We always knew we needed an urban centre to demonstrate to people that farmland is really what separates us from destruction. If we don’t have viable farmland, we will be just like any dust-choked remnant of a civilisation. We can have the shiniest buildings and the best NBN — or the worst — and it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have good air, water and soil.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The importance of setting an example — walking the talk — has also shaped Chris’s home life. His house in Hamilton Hill, a typical postwar cottage when he bought it, has been retrofitted as a sustainable home, open twice a year for people to look through and take inspiration from — an offer an astonishing 8000 have taken up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s a home he shares with his wife, fitness instructor Astrid, six-year-old son River and his stepdaughters Akira, almost 18, and Saritah, 11. He had known Astrid, Rosanne’s daughter, since she was a girl but it was eight years ago, after they had both married and divorced other people, that they fell in love.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">River was born almost two months premature, weighing only a kilogram, and later diagnosed with autism. It’s been a difficult journey for their family but having their home, with the space for him to explore and play in nature, in his own way, has been invaluable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“River’s autism is pretty severe, so it has been an interesting experience learning what that is all about,” Chris says. “I was 44 when he was born and I said ‘I’m not Rupert Murdoch, I can’t just keep having kids’. Having the two girls already, River was my first and my last biological child. I also thought ‘if you’re going to give me autism the first time around, I’m not going to risk what you might give me the next time!’ But he is so beautiful and amazing and having that garden at home, the ability to get him outdoors, is so important.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The other kids love it, too; when West Weekend visits, Saritah barrels in the front door after school and runs out to collect the half a dozen eggs their chickens have laid, and excitedly reports to Chris the progress of the potatoes they planted together a couple of weekends ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The house itself has been carefully planned for the lowest possible use of power and water. By the front patio is a low-chill honey locust — a deciduous tree that keeps the sun out in the summer but loses its leaves, even in Perth’s mild winters, letting in warming rays.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The front brick cladding was replaced with three layers of insulation, the roof painted reflective white, the windows double glazed and the patio roof fitted with louvres that can be opened or closed depending on the weather.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The outcome is that the house doesn’t have air-conditioning or heating (in a heatwave, Chris says, they close it up and run all the ceiling fans, but it still doesn’t get above 30C inside). With the solar panels on the roof, they have only spent about $500 on electricity since they moved in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the laundry and bathroom, they have a greywater recycling system that feeds the garden. Almost all their furniture and whitegoods are recycled and the garden provides fresh vegetables for the table.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It would be easy for someone who cares so deeply for the environment to become despondent in a “Kim Kardashian world” where to live is to consume. Chris rails against the lack of foresight from politicians who dilute existing pollution protections, or enact <b>refugee</b> policy without considering landcare in the source countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“One thing humanity doesn’t do well as a species is ask why,” he says. “When I was born there were 3.5 billion on the planet and now it’s just clicked over to 7.5 billion. If we are worried about refugees or ‘<b>boat</b> people’ now, what are we going to do when that gets to nine billion or 11 billion? Are we just going to continue to not give them access and not help to make their countries stable? You see it everywhere, people just dealing with the symptoms and not the causes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We as a species need to do better with less — less resources, less waste, more thinking. When people ask what I do for a living, it’s hard to put into a sentence but it’s really trying to inform people that there is a problem, that it’s not all negative and then give them the tools to make a difference.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s why, rather than despair, Chris focuses on what he can do.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He still “guerilla plants” in his local parks, taking a certain pleasure in watching council workers look at the rogue tree, then each other — “it’s like ‘I didn’t plant this, did you’,” Chris laughs — before they shrug their shoulders and tend to the new addition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He still does workshops at Bunnings and if no one turns up, he “busks”. Rolling out a piece of lawn is a sure way to attract blokes, he reckons, and then you can “sneak them some seriously hippy information” about soil health and wetting agents.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chris feels there is more momentum than ever before behind the sustainable living message, a growing awareness that the health and survival of human beings is intrinsically tied to the environment we live in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“One of my favourite quotes from the spiritual teacher Wayne Dyer is that there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come,” he says. “Twenty years ago, you did not have health professionals saying that gut health is really important — and gut health is linked to the food you eat. We see the rise in organic farming, which is all about soil health and microbial health. We have educators saying the best thing we can do for kids is to get them outside in nature.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’m starting to see all these different disciplines coming together to say that our disconnection from nature, and our destruction of nature, that in that we destroy ourselves. For all the negative stuff that gets media exposure, there is an equal amount of amazing, extraordinary but quiet revolution going on, which has, at its core, common sense. Out of the 130,000 people I have taught, no one has ever stood up or collared me afterwards and said ‘That’s bullshit, as if we need to look after the air we breathe’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When you embrace it, it helps you get a better balance in life — you eat healthier, you spend more time in the garden, your family spends more time outside and it just leads you in a more wholesome direction. That might sound weird but it teaches you balance.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘It just etched into my head that we are nothing without healthy landscapes.’</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.’</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What would my grandfather make of our world today? I have wondered about that lately. What would he make of this age of hyper-identity? I doubt he ever uttered the word identity. I doubt he ever considered what it meant to identify with anything. Cecil William Henry Grant was an Aboriginal man. He would have said a Wiradjuri man. He lived among Wiradjuri people, he married a Wiradjuri woman and raised his children to know what it was to be Wiradjuri.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was an Australian, proudly so. Defiantly Australian, at a time when he was told he wasn’t. When war came he signed up: he became a Rat of Tobruk. My grandfather fought not to prove his worth but because he believed himself already worthy. He came back and told his children of the world he had seen. He told them that this world was theirs, that no one could shrink their horizon but themselves.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was a Christian; his faith was founded in a belief in justice and equality. He would have heard that same message in the words of a black preacher from the segregated south of America, who dreamed of a day when we would be judged not by our colour but our character.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When I think of Martin Luther King Jr, I think of someone who represented everything my grandfather, Cecil William Henry Grant, stood for. Yes, he was Aboriginal — that was his heritage, his family. To be Aboriginal was as natural as breathing. But it was who he was, not all he was. Like the great majority of Aboriginal people, he was what we clumsily call “mixed race”: he had an Irish grandfather. He found a world beyond his own in books and a love of knowledge. He wrote short stories and poems. I am told he kept by his bed the works of Shakespeare and our own bards, Lawson and Paterson. My father still has my grandfather’s old Bible, nearly half a century since the old man passed away.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My grandfather lived the words of the ancient Roman playwright Terence — a man bought and sold as a slave: Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto: “I am human, nothing that is human is alien to me”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was a man of sacrifice and courage; a man born on the margins, who endured harsh poverty, bigotry and state-enforced discrimination, but who never wavered in his dignity and hope for his country. A man locked out, yet who looked for a way in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1966, towards the end of his life, my grandfather nominated as a candidate to be elected as an Aboriginal representative of the Aborigines Welfare Board. I found his campaign pitch in an old edition of the welfare board magazine Dawn, distributed to Aboriginal communities across NSW. There was no mention of blame, shame or victimhood — just an unflinching belief in our basic human dignity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Reading the pitch, I can hear his voice: it is the voice of a preacher, his cadence distinctive, his inflection rising and falling: “Anyone claiming that Aborigines are not humanly equal to other people seems to lack knowledge of the common ingredients of which all human beings are made. For instance, all mankind is blessed or plagued with egoism, irrespective of the pigmentation of the skin. We are also subject to the influences of various other elements such as the physical, natural and Divine influences — all of which are evident in all men. Thus far we are humanly equal and should be regarded by all as such.” Today those words may seem quaint. They are so at odds with the spirit of our times. These are angry times. He campaigned for equality and justice, but today we are likely to hear more of resentment and vengeance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My grandfather fought for inclusion. Today we talk a lot more of separatism and exclusion. We are more likely to define ourselves by what we are not: whom we are against rather than what we share in common.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have lost the art of moderation. We are quick to take offence, too readily wounded and too reluctant to forgive or understand. As French philosopher Simone Weil put it: “Modern life is given over to immoderation. Immoderation invades everything: actions and thought, public and private … there is no more balance anywhere.” She was writing more than a half-century ago, yet her words continue to resonate. These are times of passion more than discretion. And as another French thinker, Raymond Aron, said: “Passion automatically goes at a gallop.” In a time when we are wealthier and healthier, paradoxically we are also fearful and vicious.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Consider the Australia of my grandfather’s life, and the world I enjoy. Then, Aboriginal kids often were locked out of schools; today we have more indigenous university graduates than at any time in our history. Once, my grandfather and so many like him were denied the vote; today we have indigenous people in our parliaments. My grandfather lived on Aboriginal missions, among those rounded up and forced off traditional lands; today we have won rights to our land, our courts recognise native title. My grandfather lived in the great Australian silence, indigenous people written out of our nation’s history; today our stories are celebrated in film and music and art and literature. This is the world he dreamed of, the world he fought for: “We are humanly equal and should be regarded by all as such.” Indeed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is the world dreamed of by Aboriginal heroes who were often, like my grandfather, people of deep faith: Bill Ferguson, Doug Nicholls, William Cooper. They and those who followed — everyone who marched, carried a flag, raised a voice or pitched a tent for the struggle — are part of our folklore. They helped make Australia better.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, there is much to do. The possibilities and promise of this country remain out of reach for far too many. The most impoverished and imprisoned in our nation are the First Peoples. My grandfather knew that too well. It was the struggle to which he dedicated his entire life. But I am sure he would recoil at the rancour and bitterness of modern politics. He believed in an inclusive citizenship; today we cleave to our difference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is one of the pitfalls of identity politics that it requires a permanent, unchanging enemy. At its worst it appears less motivated by justice or reconciliation than vainglorious struggle for its own sake: grievance without end.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lately, I have sought refuge in the words of my grandfather. I have returned to the writings of great thinkers who shaped our world. My grandfather would not have read the likes of Immanuel Kant, John Locke or John Stuart Mill, yet the teachings of those Enlightenment philosophers found their way into his world view.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The belief in a shared humanity, in the fundamental worth of each individual, is the cornerstone of the liberal democratic order. Think of Kant’s ideas of liberty — the foundation of Enlightenment is that we should strive to live “free of the ball and chain of an everlasting permanent minority”. He urged us to have the courage to think for ourselves, to “make use of our own understanding”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Or Mill, who asked we find that elusive centre to “soften the extreme form to fill up the intervals between us”. These philosophers challenge me to look outside of myself, to cast off certainty and test my ideas. The Enlightenment placed reason above superstition, disrupted conventional wisdom, reimagined society and challenged old hierarchies. It asked humanity to look beyond parochial affiliations — to, in the words of Rousseau, “cast away the yoke of national prejudices”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These thinkers were also products of their times. Some of their views, particularly on race, are hard for me to read. Some were apologists for slavery, the architects of empire and colonisation. The same Kant who spoke of our shared humanity could say black Africans were “stupid”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet, for all its faults, the Enlightenment is my inheritance, too. Its legacy is universal. Richard Dawkins says liberalism is a meme rather than a gene: it transmits across bloodlines and cultures. To French philosopher Pascal Bruckner, Western civilisation is “like a jailer who throws you into prison yet slips you the key”. Tyranny, racism and colonialism are part of the Western tradition, yet that same tradition holds out the tantalising possibility of freedom.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Liberalism, born of the Enlightenment and centred on the principle of the rights of the individual, has proved remarkably resilient. Yet, across three decades in journalism, I have seen old divisions of race, religion, tribalism and nationalism reassert themselves. The end of the Cold War — the great ideological battle between liberal democracy and communism — promised liberation. Old borders were coming down. US political scientist Francis Fukuyama proclaimed “the end of history”. Liberal democracy, he wrote, constituted “the end point of mankind’s ideological evolution”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But history has returned. Borders are going back up, democracy is in retreat. The strongman is back: Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey; Viktor Orban in Hungary; Rodrigo Duterte in The Philippines; Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Egypt; Vladimir Putin in Russia; Xi Jinping in China; and, in his own way, Donald Trump in the US — each riding a wave of resurgent populism. This is a frustrating, mad­dening time. As father of conservatism Edmund Burke wrote, “The wild gas, the fixed air is plainly broke loose.” We don’t look for common ground; we dig in and shoot from the trenches. It is politics as civil war: words are weapons. We don’t disagree, we abuse.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We don’t debate, we yell.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Paradoxically, when social media gives us greater means to offend each other, we try to silence those we find offensive. Liberalism is under siege.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">American political scientist Mark Lilla has condemned the growth of identity politics as a cancer on democracy. He considers himself a liberal (progressive in American political parlance) but fears his fellow liberals have become dangerously obsessed with identity and exclusion, and are sacrificing the idea of shared citizenship. In his book The Once and Future Liberal (Harper, 2017), he despairs at how “identity liberalism banished the word ‘we’ to the outer reaches of respectable political discourse”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lilla’s book grew out of an article he wrote in response to Trump’s election. It was the most widely read opinion piece in The <span class="companylink">New York Times</span> in 2016. He argued that the fashionable idea of celebrating difference was a “disastrous foundation for democratic politics”. He said the US was in the grip of a “moral panic about racial, gender and sexual identity that has distorted liberalism’s message”; it impedes progressive politics becoming a unifying force.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lilla believes it cost Hillary Clinton the presidency and propelled Trump to the White House. He has been tracking this trend for years. In an earlier book, The Shipwrecked Mind (New York Review Books, 2016), he captured the resurgence of populism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The shipwrecked mind, Lilla says, is the mind of the reactionary: it is the mind of the person turning away from change, who sees “the debris of paradise drifting past his eyes”. The shipwrecked mind is nostalgic for the glorious past lost. As Lilla writes: “Hopes can be disappointed. Nostalgia is irrefutable.” Yes, things were better back then.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We see the politics of nostalgia in the pledge to make America great again, or the Brexit campaign’s lament for “Little Eng­land”. Putin appeals to the longing for the glory of the Soviet empire; Xi stokes Chinese nationalism with references to the 100 years of humiliation by foreign powers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The shipwrecked mind is the political Islamist, European nationalist, the American alt-right fascist. In Australia it could help explain the lure of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. These groups may speak about liberation but, like purveyors everywhere of identity politics, depend for their survival on a “permanent enemy” and an army of “endlessly aggrieved” foot soldiers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indigenous politics is not immune. We have our “shipwrecked minds”. These are people who would like to imagine themselves as the radicals, disrupters and truth-tellers. In fact, they are the most stifling reactionaries: chain­ed to tradition, they fetishise culture, reject pluralism and shut their ears to discussion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I thought of these people when reading The Economist last December. The feature article probed the rise of identity politics and resurgent nationalism. It drew on the work of Polish social-psychologist Michal Bilewicz, who separates what he calls “altruists” from “narcissists”. Politics in this way becomes a civil war, with everything boiling down to loyalty. The two groups are categorised thus: ALTRUISTS / NARCISSISTSLook to the future / Rake over the pastPositive-sum / Zero-sumShare / ExcludeWork together / Gang upUnited by values / United by race and cultureOpponents complement / Opponents are traitors We know these narcissists all too well: they are the avatars of resurgent populism. They are the most successful politicians of our time. History is the pulse of populist identity politics. This is history as betrayal. It is the narrative of loss, of being robbed of inheritance. This history looms over the present, obscuring progress; the past frames the present and denies the future.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lilla calls this the “apocalyptic imagination”: “The present, not the past, is a foreign country … all that was left was memory of defeat, destruction and exile.” This has become a powerful narrative for many indigenous Australians. It is a history I was raised on: the story of invasion and dispossession, racism and segregation, passed down through the generations of my family. These stories are painful and vivid. They have marked me — at times, I have felt, indelibly. History is where we locate ourselves; it is the foundation of identity. It can help explain so much ongoing suffering and injustice. But it can become a crippling narrative. It has been my struggle — the struggle of all of us — to move beyond it. Not to ignore it or airbrush the worst aspects but to lift its weight from my shoulders. I have no desire to be bound to a history of misery — or, worse, to revel in it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Historical truth can be elusive, particularly when it is filtered through memory. Friedrich Nietzsche warned us to tread warily; where remembrance is concerned it is worth recalling his words: “There are no facts, only interpretations.” Memory is unreliable and selective; as we have seen, it can be a powerful and destructive political weapon. In the words of French historian Jacques Le Goff: “Memory, on which history draws and which nourishes it in return, seeks to save the past in order to serve the present and the future.” In his 2016 book In Praise of Forgetting (<span class="companylink">Yale University</span> Press), journalist and philosopher David Rieff challenges the adage that those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. “Thinking about history … is far more likely to paralyse than encourage and inspire,” he warns. He says we risk turning it into a “formula for unending grievance and vendetta”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">French historian Ernest Renan was grappling with this idea of history and identity more than a century ago, saying in an essay that nations seek a “collective identity”. Nation, he wrote, is “a soul, a spiritual principle”. But how to form a nation out of the conflicting stories of our past? Renan looked beyond history. His words are an antidote to today’s obsession with remembrance: “Forgetfulness, and I would say historical error, are essential in creating a nation.” Nations — peoples — do this all the time. We elevate one event over another, we celebrate particular historical figures, we commemorate victories and find glory in defeat. We are always editing history — what philosopher Homi K. Bhabha calls “narrating the nation”. The stories we tell ourselves are what we become. We have to ask: what is it that we want to be?Identity can kill. Think of Hutu versus Tutsi in Rwanda, Hindu pitted against Muslim in India, Catholic and Protestant in Ireland, Palestinian and Israeli, the blood feud between Sunni and Shia. Identity spawned in history and nourished on violence can exert a deadly hold.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indian economist and philosopher Amartya Sen has warned against what he calls “solitarist” identities. He says it can be a good way of misunderstanding nearly everyone in the world. When we divide ourselves, he writes, “our shared humanity gets savagely challenged”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At its worst, the politics of iden­tity appears to me like that line from Franz Kafka: “A cage went in search of a bird.” It is rigid and conformist. It is policed by self-righteous moral and political guard­ians. Identity has its own ortho­doxy, it imposes its own tyranny.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cosmopolitanism appeals as a counter to these forces. Its embrace of hybridity rejects identity politics that turns “we” into “us and them”. Kant described this idea of cosmopolitanism as a loyalty to universal humanity. Cosmopolitanism demands that I think harder about identity. It challenges me to find a better answer to the question: who am I? This is a new frontier for indigenous Australians. There has been a tendency to cling to ideas of identity purity or authenticity. This is understandable: historically, indigenous identity has been heavily politicised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What it means to be indigenous — who is recognised or classified and who is not — has been in an almost constant state of flux. The <span class="companylink">Australian Law Reform Commission</span> counts 64 separate definitions of Aboriginal. Indigenous (Yiman and Bidjara) academic Marcia Langton once wrote: “For Aboriginal people, resolving who is Aboriginal and who is not is an uneasy issue, located somewhere between the individual and the state.” Today, communities often determine who is recognised as indigenous or not. Individuals can be required to obtain a letter certifying “Aboriginality”. There is a wariness of hybridity, that someone can hold overlapping or layered allegiance or affiliation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But how do people with mixed ancestry define themselves? What about an urban-dwelling, univer­sity-educated, relatively privileged middle-class person of Aboriginal heritage? They won’t necessarily belong to any exclusive indigenous community, let alone look to it for recognition. They may have communal connections, perhaps to ancestral country, but also may trace their roots back to Italy, China or Lebanon. This is the way of our world; indigenous Australians should be no different.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is fraught terrain. Identity is the third rail of indigenous politics. Yin Paradies is a scholar who has sought to escape what he calls a “prison-house” identity. Paradies is an example of someone with indigenous heritage who chafes at orthodox interpretations of what it means to be Aboriginal. Paradies — blending indigenous and Anglo-Asian heritage — says he represents both coloniser and colonised: black and consummately white. For this, he says, he has endured personal attacks. He has been labelled a “coconut” (brown on the outside, white on the inside) or a “nine-to-five black”. This hostility comes from a history of suspicion of people “passing as white” or “selling out”. Paradies doesn’t deny what he too calls a “deplorable history of marginalisation, discrimination and exclusion”, but that alone does not define him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Paradies, like me, is in every way a cosmopolitan. As a journalist, I have reported from more than 70 countries. Mine has been a life spent in the world. Apart from China and Britain, I have spent enough long stretches in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel to feel equally at home in each. I can tell you where to find the best dumplings in Shanghai or the best chicken meal in Amman; I could help you buy a guitar in Kabul or tell you where to catch an art movie Tel Aviv. I count among my dearest friends colleagues from Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, China, Canada and South Korea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All of this has shaped me. It has given me a glimpse into worlds I once could barely have imagined.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I live an admittedly privileged life — and that is one of the criticisms of cosmopolitanism, that it is the identity of the rich. But cosmopolitanism is also carried on the winds of trade and war. Every <b>refugee</b> fleeing tyranny on a leaky <b>boat</b> is taking what Bruce Robbins and Paulo Lemos-Horta poetically describe in the opening to their book Cosmopolitans (<span class="companylink">New York University</span> Press, 2017) as “the long, exhausting and perhaps endless journey toward invisible others”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For indigenous Australians, that journey began — for better and worse — with the arrival of the First Fleet. We took on new names, our skin lightened and we spoke in new languages.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cosmopolitanism is not always a matter of choice. It has been a colonial project.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cosmopolitanism asks a tough political question: is there a place for group rights? Does identifying as an indigenous person give me a unique or special claim on the state? If so, under what circumstances? Who decides?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Political theorist Jeremy Waldron has argued there is no place in cosmopolitanism for indigenous rights. To the extent that rights are acknowledged, Waldron says it should be more about contemporary discrimination and disadvantage than historical injustice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Historian David Hollinger says historical events have “destabilised identities”, weakening political solidarity. Groups are not permanent or enduring; Hollinger says there is too much emphasis on homogeneity. Some may make a case for group right — but don’t ask who actually belongs to the group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Do I, as someone who lives a privileged life and identifies as indigenous, have an equal claim on programs to close the socioeconomic gap in Australia? Despite identifying with the African-American community, Barack Obama, the first black US president, said his children should not benefit from affirmative action. Cosmopolitans value fluidity and hybridity; they embrace change and prioritise multiple affiliations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, where does that leave someone like me? Yes, I am indigenous, but this is not an exclusive identity; it is not unchanging, permanently fixed in time and place. Identity is personal choice, a social construct — but it can also have political implications. We see this around the world in the push for separatism or self-determination based on ethnicity, culture or religion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hollinger does not support minority nationalism or group rights that privilege some citizens over others; he says society is stronger by breaking down barriers between groups and increasing “shifting, multiple and hybrid identities”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cosmopolitans are accused of downplaying historical injustice and ignoring the causes and impact of economic inequality. Political scientist Michael Ignatieff has identified one of the critical flaws of cosmopolitanism: that it is aristocratic, “the privilege of those who can take their own membership in secure nation-states for granted”. While cosmopolitans may prefer to eschew parochialism or nationalism, their rights are tethered to nation states.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The question of group versus individual rights — indeed, the rights of individuals within those groups — is an enduring dilemma of liberal democracy. It is an ongoing process of litigation and negotiation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cosmopolitanism appeals to me, even as I struggle with it. Perhaps that is the point: it is meant to make us uncomfortable, posing as many questions as it answers. One of the great cosmopolitan thinkers, Kwame Anthony Appiah, concedes: “There’s a sense in which cosmopolitanism is the name not of the solution but of the challenge.” Appiah himself is a living example of what it is to be cosmopolitan: Ghanaian father, British mother; an internationally acclaimed academic, multilingual, multicultural. He is, like me, at home in the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Appiah says cosmopolitanism begins with the simple idea that “we have obligations to others, obligations that stretch beyond those to whom we are related … or even the more formal ties of a shared citizenship”. It isn’t an argument for homogeneity. Appiah may dream of a world beyond race, but he also concedes that is unlikely. Difference, Appiah says, matters, but it need not define or divide us.My children live in the world Appiah imagines. Just last Christmas my youngest son was in the US on a basketball tour, mostly in Texas along the Mexican border. We had met him in Los Angeles and now had come to New York for Christmas. There we were, huddled together on the New York subway, bound in puffy jackets and scarfs wrapped tightly around our necks. Our jaws were still clenched against the biting cold; we hadn’t yet thawed out in the warmth of the subway.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The day before we had been in sunny California: the Los Angeles winter was proving warmer than summer back in Sydney. We were far from what I suppose we would call our home, yet feeling right at home anyway. This has been the pattern of our lives, moving from one country to another.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What does it mean for my children to call themselves indigenous Australians? They have a rich heritage and they embrace it. They have deep kinship and cultural ties. They are part of a community and they enjoy the easy friendship of people just like them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Appiah asks, “Do identities represent a curb on autonomy, or do they provide its contours?” My children will walk through the world as indigenous Australians, but hopefully not bound to any ­stifling conformity or identity orthodoxy. They are free to be what they wish to be.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They come from a hard history, but it is not a burden my children should feel compelled to carry. They are not defined by poverty or disadvantage. They are, in fact, like so many other indigenous people today: privileged, urban dwelling, racial and cultural hybrids. They are cosmopolitans.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is the future my grandfather would have dreamed for us. It is a world he fought for. My children live in extraordinary times. Globalisation has changed us all. Our world is smaller. We move more freely across borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We are richer. We carry more computer power in our pocket than <span class="companylink">NASA</span> required to send man to the moon. We have enjoyed the longest period of global peace the world has seen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet there is a blowback. Terrorism can strike us anywhere. Old religious hatreds have returned. Democracy is in retreat. The political strongman is back. We fear the stranger. Inequality is growing. Robots are taking our jobs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Who we are increasingly defines what we believe, whom we call enemy or friend. Australia is swept up in these global currents. Like people everywhere, we live with the wounds of history. As a nation we have to answer the question of Renan: what are we — indigenous and non-indigenous — prepared to forget?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have those among us who would feed on endless grievance. We have our shipwrecked minds attached to a militant nostalgia. We have our populists who, like populists everywhere, need fear, suspicion and division to stay alive. And like populists everywhere, they spin a compelling tale.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The politics of identity, of separation and exclusion, is not the cure for populism — it is the root of populism. It is dangerous; it has made the world inflammable. Identity is important, the need to belong is instinctive. A sense of belonging gives the world meaning, but it also can distort the meaning of our world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Liberalism demands vigilance. Calling out injustice and racism, closing the poverty gap, ending mass imprisonment, graduating more kids from school and university, creating jobs: these are Australia’s challenges. We have inherited a history, a history that indigenous people carry heavily. But as a nation we can choose to be altruists and look to the future, or narcissists and rake over the past. We can choose to be united by values or divided by race and culture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The liberal democratic order that emerged from the great Enlightenment thinkers — those who sought liberty, reason and freedom — has triumphed over repressive ideologies. It has not delivered the end of history but it may still be history’s best chance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I think that’s what my grandfather was saying.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hiding from al-Qaeda operatives as bombs rained down on his apartment in Yemen's port of Aden in March 2015, the young interfaith activist put his life into the hands of people - one of them an Australian-American - he had met via the social media platform.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over the next 13 days, from their homes in New York, San Francisco and Tel Aviv, they plotted to rescue him as Yemen descended into civil war, aided and abetted by Iran and Saudi Arabia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Samawi has no doubt he is alive today, and a guest speaker at the Sydney Writers' Festival and Melbourne Jewish Literary Festival, due to the stubbornness of those who never gave up on him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It really was like my last breath," he recalls by phone from his home in the United States. "I was thinking to kill myself. I was watching the news on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span>, that's why social media is really important in places like Yemen and the Middle East because if you go to the national TV in Yemen, they were playing songs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They didn't tell you what was happening in Yemen, no one was even interested in covering the news. The only way to really know what was happening was through social media and I was seeing the pictures on social media when I was hearing the airstrikes in Yemen. When I was hearing 'Allahu akbar' and people were shouting in the streets . . . that's it, I felt this is insane."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The account of Samawi's audacious international rescue is outlined in his memoir The Fox Hunt, released this month in the US, Britain and Australia. The book has been picked up for film adaption by Fox 2000, and La La Land producer Marc Platt is on board alongside Oscar-winner Josh Singer (Spotlight) as the screenwriter.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Samawi's odyssey began many years before with another book, the Bible, offered to him by a Canadian English-language teacher, in exchange for Samawi's gift of the Koran. He read the Christian text to find mistakes and prove Islam was the one true path. "I wanted to find the 'a-ha!', that 'my book is much better than this book', but it opened my eyes to how similar the Bible is to the Koran."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The son of doctors, Samawi had been raised a devout Muslim. When he was not yet a year old, a stroke withered his right arm, leg, hand and foot. Initially, his parents put their faith in science but, without a miracle, they doubled down on prayer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Samawi took his many questions about the faiths to <span class="companylink">Facebook</span>. A user pointed him to a <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> group for Jews and Arabs working towards peace. It was the time of the Arab Spring.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Samawi's mind expanded in his conversations on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> and <span class="companylink">Twitter</span>, he took a job at an NGO, travelling to Bosnia for an interfaith leadership conference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, Shiite Houthi rebels stormed and took control of his home town and, in January 2015, placed Yemeni president Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi under house arrest. On January 22, 2015, the day Hadi resigned, Samawi received his first anonymous death threat, accusing him of recruiting for the <span class="companylink">Israeli spy agency Mossad</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He went to a peace-building and leadership conference in Jordan and returned home when fighters were in the street. Hadi escaped house arrest and fled to Aden in the country's south. On March 16, Samawi took a job with Oxfam in the new "capital", only to find that his light skin and northern features made him a marked man for militants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Three days later, Houthis stormed Aden International Airport, Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia and Samawi took refuge in his bathroom and sent messages to his <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> friends. Daniel Pincus, a medical engineer, was at a Jewish wedding in Brooklyn and immediately responded. Megan Hallahan in Tel Aviv relayed Samawi's urgent email to Natasha Westheimer, a water scientist also working in Israel, and to Justin Hefter, a tech entrepreneur skiing in Utah. Both had met the Yemeni briefly in Jordan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The biggest hope I had was if someone brought food for me," Samawi recalls. "Or if someone can tell me, 'Come stay in this place with us'. I was calling friends, by the way, in Aden that could help out, but everyone was trying to escape themselves. No one had the time to come and actually help me. You can imagine there was a war and there are air strikes. I was really feeling alone, I was really feeling that this was the end of my life."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As someone who worked in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories for a couple of years, Melbourne-born Westheimer was aware of the danger Samawi faced. She reached out to conference participants and contacts she had made during an internship with the <span class="companylink">US State Department</span>. These proved invaluable during Samawi's eventual evacuation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The last time Samawi had seen Pincus he was spinning on his head, breakdancing at the same conference where he had met Westheimer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pincus spoke with a retired US military operative who offered to evacuate Samawi from Yemen by air for $US50,000 but, when the Saudis declared a no-fly zone, the <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> friends turned to the embassies that were evacuating their citizens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">India was sending a <b>boat</b> in three to four days, could they work their contacts to get him on board?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For each of Samawi's rescuers it was a moment of deep self-reflection. Pincus' paternal grandparents had escaped the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. Westheimer's grandmother had been born in a concentration camp in southern France but had never shared her story. With her grandfather, Westheimer had retraced her family's footsteps to find a diary that her grandmother's father had sold following their liberation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"From my great-grandfather's diary, it was clear that he believed nobody should be persecuted for what they believed in, and that everyone deserved the right to live free from oppression and with the freedom that my family now had," Westheimer says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Samawi seriously considered suicide three times during his escape. Death by his own hand was preferable to torture by al-Qaeda fighters. As missiles flew, so did emails, texts and calls between Washington, the <span class="companylink">US Congress</span>, and the Indian embassy in Yemen. Westheimer was always online, keeping his spirits up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Standing shivering dockside in the dying light on April 4 waiting for the return of a fishing vessel to collect the last Yemeni evacuees was one of the longest moments of Samawi's life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">'It's very emotional to hear someone on the phone, scared for their lives, especially knowing that this was happening in the context of a violent civil war," Westheimer says. "Yet across 10 time zones, at least four of us were working around the clock to make progress in the evacuation effort. We barely had time to stop and be nervous."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It sustained Samawi: "They were with me all the time in some way, every time I was sending them message, less than a minute they'd respond. I'd be thinking, 'Are they sleeping?' I didn't give up because I know they didn't give up on me."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Samawi now lives in Florida, studying interfaith relations. He remains a practising Muslim. He reunited with his online friends two weeks ago, at the launch of his book.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only after the team received confirmation that their friend had boarded the ship to Djibouti, Ethiopia, did they stop, in shock, and think about what just happened.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We could barely believe it," Westheimer says. "And in the background of it all, I knew that Mohammed was just one of the millions trapped in the middle of Yemen's war. This all happened at a time where we started seeing some of the highest numbers of refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers across the world and an increasing number of countries that started closing their borders.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">AAT should be reviewed IT’S time the Turnbull Government questioned whether the $156 million a year it gives to the federal Administrative Appeals Tribunal is money well spent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Certainly, it should be asking that question following revelations in the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun today about controversial decisions the AAT has made.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those revelations include that eight killers, 66 other brutal thugs with shocking convictions for violence, 33 drug dealers, 23 armed robbers and 17 sex offenders are among the criminals the AAT has saved from deportation since 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In each of these cases, a delegate for the Immigration Minister has either cancelled the visa or banned the criminal from entering Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those ministerial delegates argued the deportations or bans were necessary to protect Australians, and that almost all of the people they wanted to kick out of the country had “substantial criminal records”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite that, AAT members overturned those visa decisions and allowed the criminals to stay in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is not possible for members of the public, or the media, to scrutinise the reasons for the vast majority of finalised visa decisions made in the AAT’s migration and <b>refugee</b> division, as the latest figures show it published only 12.5 per cent of them in 2015-16, 7.3 per cent of them in 2016-17, and 15.5 per cent of them so far this financial year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the AAT does publish almost all its general division decisions relating to convicted criminals whose visas were cancelled by a delegate for the Immigration Minister, they are not easy to find.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun had to wade through many hundreds of written AAT decisions to identify the 164 cases since 2010 in which the AAT came to the rescue of foreign-born criminals by overruling deportation and other visa decisions made by ministerial delegates.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have previously reported on a number of disturbing cases in which the AAT has saved criminals from being kicked out of Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those included the cases of Finian Egan, an Irish paedophile priest convicted of raping a teen girl and committing serious sexual assaults against two other girls aged under 17; an unnamed Muslim Iraqi father of seven who pretended to be a gay Christian to try to avoid deportation after racking up almost 30 convictions, including for assault and theft, since arriving by <b>boat</b> in 1999; and an unnamed Apex gang member from New Zealand with convictions in Australia for assaulting a police officer, assaulting an emergency worker, robbery, recklessly causing injury, breaching probation, theft, using and possessing cannabis, and obtaining property by deception.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Highlighting those cases prompted us to decide it was worth the effort of painstakingly examining every written decision made by the AAT’s general division since 2010 in relation to the visas of convicted criminals, to see how many more such cases would be unearthed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That time-consuming exercise discovered the 164 cases in the past eight years in which the AAT has saved criminals from deportation or indefinite immigration detention, or, in a few instances, allowed them into Australia. It did this by overturning decisions made by delegates for the immigration minister to either cancel the visas of the criminals or to refuse to grant them one.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The AAT exists to conduct independent merits reviews of administrative decisions made under more than 400 Commonwealth laws by government ministers, departments and agencies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">People affected by those decisions can appeal to the AAT.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The president of the AAT must be a Federal Court judge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Other AAT members must be Federal or Family Court judges, lawyers of at least five years’ standing, or persons with relevant knowledge or skills.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The many non-judicial members include people with expertise in areas such as accountancy, aviation, disability law, medicine, migration, military affairs, public administration, science, social welfare and taxation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are now 304 AAT members, made up of 35 judges and deputy presidents, 28 full-time senior members, 22 part-time senior members, 69 full-time members and 150 part-time members — plus a whopping 630 support staff workers in capital city offices.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It seems to us that the AAT operates in the shadows and is nowhere near accountable enough for its actions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun has led the way in shining a light on some of the AAT’s controversial decisions — and will continue to scrutinise it — but it shouldn’t be up to the media to ensure the AAT performs in the way the community expects it to.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australians will no doubt be appalled that so many decisions made by ministerial delegates to deport or ban convicted criminals have been overturned by the AAT.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull Government needs to urgently review the entire set-up of the AAT so it better reflects the views of the vast majority of Australians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have no doubt those Australians believe that having a visa to live in this great country is a privilege, and that it is a privilege that should be taken away if visa holders break our laws.Appointing AAT members who are more in touch with what the community expects is just one of the things the federal government should do to overhaul a body that has become a safety net for immigrants who deserve to be kicked out of the country.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Nelson, who is working on a proposal for a $500 million expansion of the AWM, said personnel who protected the nation’s borders should have their story told along with the Diggers who fought in armed conflicts.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former Liberal Party leader and defence minister in the Howard government said the sacrifice of patrol <b>boat</b> sailors should be recognised in the expanded shrine, along with those who contributed in recent military engagements and peacekeeping operations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The whole story of border protection, arguably the most important thing our military is doing with other agencies, (there is currently) no space for that at all,” Dr Nelson told The Australian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is very important, it is extremely important. Obviously we can’t tell it right now but in the medium term we most certainly have to. When I was defence minister a decade ago, I spent two days out on a patrol <b>boat</b> but the courage that is shown by these young sailors on these patrol boats is extraordinary, whether it is foreign fishing, whether it is <b>asylum</b>-seekers and so on, and in more than a few cases it takes a heavy toll on them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If you ask the average Australian, out of all the things the Royal Australian Navy is doing, I’m pretty confident most would rank what these young men and women are doing in these patrol boats as pretty close to the top.” Operation Sovereign Borders was former prime minister Tony Abbott’s military-led policy that gave the Australian Defence Force the key role in combating “people-smuggling”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The policy, which has been criticised by the <span class="companylink">UN</span> and human rights groups, is largely credited with stopping <b>asylum</b>-seeker vessels landing in Australia following an influx in the Rudd/Gillard years. The military was also involved in border protection operations in the Howard, Rudd and Gillard eras.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Nelson said a potential exhibition to honour those who helped to protect the borders would be a medium-term project. “This is not an exhibition that is about to be put in,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is not something that will be done tomorrow, but some point in the future, all of those men and women who served in the border protection operations quite rightly would expect their story is going to be told at the Australian War Memorial.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If we do not invest in more space soon, a decade or 20 years from now those veterans will be told, ‘Look I’m sorry, we can’t tell your story ... because the war memorial doesn’t have any space’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Of course there are many dimensions to that (campaign) which are highly classified which are never going to be told at the war memorial.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We need to, for example, give people a sense of what a patrol <b>boat</b> is and what people do on ­patrol boats.” Liberal senator Jim Molan, the co-architect of Operation Sovereign Borders, said he would support any proposal to include the story of border protection in Canberra’s war memorial.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is a legitimate part of Australian military history,” Senator Molan said, while stressing he was only a civilian when he worked on the policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said someone should be commissioned to write the history of the military involvement in border protection. “You could then design a display that tells the story, but you have got to get the history right first,” he said.He added that almost everything military was involved in was politically controversial, including the wars in Vietnam and Iraq.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A family trip to a hidden world in China provided unexpected inspiration for Kirsty Manning, reports Mercedes Maguire</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a single black-and-white photo that sparked the idea for Kirsty Manning’s new novel, The Jade Lily.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After a family trip to Shanghai, Manning saw a photo of three little girls — two were Chinese, one was European — and it started the cogs whirring in her head. The result was her second book — which became the subject of a bidding war between two US publishers and is set to launch her career in America.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her novel — which ranges from Austria during World War II and Shanghai to modern-day Australia — focuses on Viennese girl Romy and her Jewish family’s escape from the Nazis to Shanghai where she meets local girl Li.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The three giggling girls in the photo provided the spark after Manning had visited Shanghai, where she stayed in the Hongkou neighbourhood — a Jewish <b>refugee</b> ghetto during World War II.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was just on a holiday in Shanghai with my kids, exploring this amazing city I had never been to,” Manning says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was walking down a laneway and I saw a red door with a Star of David set into it. I had no idea why there would be a Star of David in this area and I mentioned it to the concierge at our hotel later. He told me the neighbourhood we were in was once a Jewish ghetto and he told me to check out the Jewish <b>refugee</b> museum.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I consider myself to be quite well-read and I love history, so I wondered how I had missed this little pocket of history I knew nothing about. When I came home to Australia I started Googling stories about the Jewish refugees in Shanghai and I came across the photo of the three little girls. It sparked the idea that became the foundation of my book.” Manning was determined to reflect an authentic voice in her novel so she contacted the Holocaust Museum in Melbourne, which put her in touch with Sam Moshinsky, who wrote a memoir called Goodbye Shanghai about his 17 years in the <b>refugee</b> ghetto, as well as past resident Horst Eisfelder.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I kept asking myself, ‘What right do you have to tell this story?’ as I am neither Chinese nor Jewish,” the mother of three says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But once I discovered this part of history it just kept pulling me in. It was great to chat with people like Horst because he lived in Hongkou at the same time as my fictional characters did, and he came to Shanghai on the same Italian <b>boat</b> I chose for them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was so important to me that I tell the story right, as real and as authentic as possible.” Manning’s path to becoming a novelist came after she started a family. The former book publisher says she had always wanted to write a novel but working in the industry with so many talented writers made her question her skills.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her first novel, The Midsummer Garden, was released in 2016 and was well received in Australia and published in a few countries overseas. She was not prepared, however, for the instant success of her new novel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I sent the manuscript to my Australian and my US agent on the Monday and a few days later I had an offer from a German publisher and then from the Netherlands,” Manning says of the breakthrough only two months ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was stoked but then a few days later I was in my car when I got the call I had an offer from the US. I was so excited I had to pull over. The following week I had a second offer from another publisher in the US and so the auction began.” Manning says she feels proud to be part of the wave of female Australian writers who are doing so well overseas at the moment. She mentions the likes of Liane Moriarty, Jane Harper and Kate Morton, but humbly refuses to be mentioned in their league. “Get back to me in five books,” she jokes. “They are extraordinary women and I aspire to that level but it’s certainly not a category I put myself into.” Still reeling from the international success of The Jade Lily, Manning has started work on her third novel, which she says she can’t divulge too much about yet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Let’s say it will be another multi-era book based around the mystery of a lost jewel and spanning London and maybe Sri Lanka and with a very strong contemporary Australian angle.”The Jade Lily, out now, Allen & Unwin, $29.99</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today there’s a big V stamped on every one of his pies, but 50 years after he started in business, Hungarian <b>refugee</b> Vilmos ‘Vili’ Milisits says he was once too embarrassed to put his name on his product</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Vilmos Milisits remembers with chilling clarity the moment his childhood came to a brutal end. It was 1956 when a young boy faced a horrifying choice – leave his beloved, howling dog at home in Hungary, or let it be shot by guards when his fleeing family reached the border with Austria.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boy, who as a man became ‘Vili’ – a giant of the Australian baking industry – was nine years old and the youngest of a politically active family of eight escaping the upheaval of the Magyar uprising against Soviet occupation. It is a moment burned forever into his memory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That dog is still the greatest loss of my life,” he says. “He went everywhere with me for five years. Followed me through the forests in snow and heat, every day, never leaving my side.” A dog, a german shepherd, was never named, but as Vili tells his story it is clear that incident changed his view of life forever.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My dad told me they would shoot him at the border so we had to leave him behind,” he says. “I tied him to a fence, my constant companion, on a long chain and kept walking. All I could hear was him howling. And I howled, too. I’ve never forgotten that howling.” Remarkably, he’s never been back to Hungary and probably never will. The dramatic border exit, an exodus taken by more than 200,000 Hungarians during the uprising, was the beginning of 18 months being shunted from one miserable makeshift <b>refugee</b> camp to another. There were camps across Austria and Germany, and finally on to England and Wapping in central London.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The man who now bakes more than 40 million products a year to feed hungry mouths in 18 countries, knows the gut rumbling empty horror of true hunger. With no money and often only a slice of bread and cup of cocoa for dinner at the internment camp, Vili and his brother Steve would jump the fence to roam the streets.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When the local chip shop opened at 6 o’clock the Milisits’ brothers would have their noses pressed to the window. “Not for the fish but the burgers and chips… they drove me mad,” he says. “I decided there and then I’d never go hungry ever again as soon as I had control in my life. I’ve seen people happy in poverty but never in hunger. It destroys you. People kill when they’re hungry.” We’re sitting in his cafe just a few steps away from where Vili’s bakery in Mile End began 50 years ago this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 69-year-old heads to his office at least five times a week and has his lunch out in the cafe with his customers. One man approaches to praise the pie floater he’s just devoured: “The best I’ve had,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not every customer is happy, but he listens intently to the commentary, good and bad.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The worst thing you can do is to buy a business you know nothing about – because your staff won’t tell you the truth,” he explains. “But your customers will. I listen and I learn from them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I serve meals on Saturday and the staff call me ‘Mr Chip’. Chips need heat. I learned that in my first job in Australia in a fish and chip shop aged 12, slicing potatoes for hours at a time with a one armed bandit. There’s an art to every job you do.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The name of his famous global baking empire is also his nickname, Vili. He began the business half a century ago with wife Rosemary, from the tiny kitchen table of their rundown cottage. But there was a time he was too embarrassed to have his name on his pies, pasties and sausage rolls. He was ashamed of making “peasant food”, a betrayal of his true trade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was taught the old way by masters to pull and stretch and tease sugar into shape… I can make roses from candy fit for royalty” he says making figures in the air with his hands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was trained to be an artisan confectioner; an artist in sugar. My mentor (Kazzy Ujvari) told me making pies and pasties was belittling, below me. And that’s how I felt when I began. I felt shameful and desperately didn’t want my name on them.” Advertising guru, Andrew Killey, who had just founded KWP! with Peter Withy in the early nineties, changed his mind, convincing him to spend a fortune promoting himself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Andrew told me: ‘You make the best product I know Vili – why don’t you tell the whole bloody world’,” he says with a characteristic toothy cackle. “I reckon I’ve spent $5 million telling the world since then. Advertisers love spending your money.” Along with Rosemary they devised the concept of the big blue V on the pavement – visible from 100m away. The couple instigated a new Adelaide industry, building A-frames to hang the signs from and had 800 made in the first year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two other initiatives completed the branding transformation. They threw away $300,000 worth of baking trays, replacing them with ones embossed with a V on the bottom. Turn up any pie and only the big V authenticates it as a Vili’s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If it hasn’t got a V – it ain’t me,” ran the commercial radio slogan. He’s made more than 100 commercials over the journey. All but the first one – where he reckons he sounds like a cheesy DJ – were recorded in the grand lounge room of his Unley mansion, Northgate House.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The strange chiming sounds in the background weren’t added sound effects but the striking of the numerous antique clocks Rosemary loves and collects.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Vili appreciates his trappings of wealth in a country he loves with a passion. “I’m Aussie… I’m more Aussie than some people born here and that’s because I appreciate this country more,” he says. “Our climate, our food and our wine are the best in the world. This country is magnificent. I know because I’ve been in places far worse.” The rat-infested London internment camp on the north bank of the Thames just down from Tower Bridge was one such place. The area was still bombed out from the incessant Luftwaffe raids of 15 years previously.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Europe was being rebuilt and yet England, who won the war, was still a demolition site, gripped with poverty and deprivation,” he says. “It still is in parts. I’ve got a photo of one of my vans crossing Tower Bridge and there in the background is a fence, half fallen over, weeds growing all over, that I swear was there 60 years before.” He’s been back to walk those streets and was stopped in his tracks looking at the Captain Kidd pub, named after the 17th century pirate William Kidd, who was executed at the nearby Execution Dock.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The pub has an imposing brick wall that runs along the river. “You’d be walking by and there would be a kid pop out at one end and his mate would be standing at the other,” Vili recalls. “They’d greet me with ‘hey… how you going you bloody wog?’ – then they’d give me a bloody good beating. We were the first refugees after the war and we weren’t very welcome. We spoke a strange language and had different food.” Being called ‘wog’ remained commonplace when he arrived in Australia. The Milisits family was keenest to be accepted into America where they had relatives but the wait was three years. The queue for Australia was only 18 months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leaving Trieste, Italy, by ship, travelling five weeks steerage class, they arrived in Melbourne and caught the overnight train to South Australia the same day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We were from central Europe, lush and green, and all we saw was desert, dry, kangaroos and rabbits,” he says. “My mother cried, ‘Where are we going to end up?’” Carrington St in inner city Adelaide was the answer. But soon after they set up house Vili’s father, who had been persecuted and tortured by the Russians, became ill. He died the next year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite enjoying the intellectual challenge of school, Vili, then 14, had to find a proper job. He followed the profession of his parents, both chefs, who he says were “born to good food and good living”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His parents met in Vienna in the 1930s and returned to Hungary before World War II to buy a small property to raise their growing family, farming sugar-beet, corn and wheat. When Russian Communism arrived they had to hand over 80 per cent of all produce to the state and the family existed at a subsistence level.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The property had a giant in-built oven in the centre of the farmhouse, primarily for bread making. As the youngest, Vili would have to climb in and sweep out the ashes. Dreading he’d be locked in, he had nightmares of the Hansel and Gretel fairytale. Those imaginings returned when he secured his first job as an apprenticeship at Kazzy’s Cake shop, first in Rundle St, Kent Town (a car park now) and later at Burnside.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kazzy was a man with “gifted hands and quick feet” who could plant one on his rear end. “He could be harsh as a disciplinarian – but it probably did me good,” Vili says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If we have an issue with an apprentice today you can’t give them a gee-up in case they get ‘offended’. We’ve got to put his mittens on, give him a cuddle, wipe his nose and change his nappy and I have the ultimate privilege of paying him as well! It’s such a different world.” Staffing, he says, is a constant headache. He employs more than 300 including 260 at his SA plant and cafe. “It’s hard to get good staff because many people don’t want to work at all,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“More than 5 per cent of our staff are special needs. Lovely people… and they roll up every day. They never have a sickie. Having a job is heaven-sent for them. Some people take jobs for granted.” Like many self-made people, Milisits speaks his mind. Relatively unrestrained by political correctness, he is unaware – or doesn’t care – that some of his attitudes and speech might offend. He has been accused, including by former staff, of uttering derogatory, homophobic, racist and misogynistic remarks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My three in-house accountants are female; my kitchen manager and cafe manager all females. My PA was female and, at a time, my production manager was a woman,” he says, defending himself against the misogyny claim.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I reckon women are the best at certain jobs… especially in counting… they are more meticulous than any man I’ve ever known.” He met Rosemary, a former nurse, at a 16th birthday top heavy with girls. He was a late call up, along with a few mates, to grab a dance partner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There were five of us – all wog boys – a Pole, a Greek, Croatian, Serbian and Hungarian – it was the United Nations!” he says relishing reliving every moment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Rosemary’s family – the Bonners – were Catholics who came out on the second ship into South Australia. We couldn’t have been more different.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was a West Side Story job. She was the first Anglo-Saxon in my family… and I was the first non-Anglo Saxon. Neither side was happy. Neither wanted either. We almost eloped it was so stressful.” They were married four years later at the SA Country Women’s Association on Dequetteville Tce. Vili was up at 4am to bake and then deliver their wedding cake to the venue. Two hours later, in his best suit, he returned as groom.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was a smattering of Milisits family members and 300 Bonners at the reception.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I turned to my father-in-law, Frank, and told him he was lucky I’d come along,” Vili says. “He looked a bit unsure, so I said… ‘Have a look at your mob, they’re all knock-kneed and sticky out ears. There’s way too much inbreeding.’ Frank laughed loud. We got on okay.” He’s proud there are three generations in the business, with children Simon and Alison, and two grandsons, Simon’s children Josh, 25, and Luke, 21.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The day he finished his apprenticeship and walked out of Kazzy’s he told himself he’d never work for a boss again. He hasn’t, other than doing household chores for Rosemary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It began with just $50 from the sale of his “pride and joy”, a hotted up Austin A40. Next, just married, but without his wife’s permission, he bought a cottage at 14 Manchester St, Mile End, and built a bakery out the back. “I thought it would last me a lifetime,” he adds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a way it has, although as the business has grown he has bought out much of the surrounding suburb.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For 10 years, working 90-hour weeks, the bakery produced continental cakes, employing 17 people at its peak. But by the mid-70s the immigration ratio had changed with more people coming from Asia than Europe. Realising keeping still in business means financial ruin, the couple took the radical and brave step to change to savoury.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My wife made the first pasty chopping up the vegetables with a machete on the kitchen table,” he recalls. “The Asians didn’t like the short crust pastry… too stodgy… they like the flaky pastry that the French used. Our pasties where a complete meal, meat and six veg – swedes, turnips, trombone (marrow), onion, carrot and potatoes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And we made them hot – adults only with chilli and black pepper to burn your lips. The average Aussie couldn’t handle them.” His sister owned her own patisserie, Olga’s Cakes in Leigh St in the city, and the pasties were first sold there. When Sturt St grocery store owner Con Bambacas saw some pallets in the back of a van he wanted the product.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Con was my first big pasty customer. Within weeks we went from making 500 a day to 5000 a day but I still told them call them homemade, nothing else. Soon they were in every corner store.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australia was built on the corner store. They built my business.” The 2000 Sydney Olympics put Vili’s on the national map. They made and sold 1.4 million pies in 16 days on top of normal production. His current operation is built with the next 25 years in mind. Operating 20 hours a day, six days a week – industrial crews come in to clean half day every week – the Adelaide bakery pumps out 12,000 pies an hour but could double that if necessary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Diversifying and investing in real estate was not just a strategy to expand the business. He owns 14 blocks on Manchester St and is always on the lookout for more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Some people are still holding out but I’m going to live forever so I can wait,” he adds. “One guy’s 96 years old and he won’t sell but I suggested that his son might!” He’s had offers, big offers, to sell his business – including one from South African interests 15 years ago for around $35m – but he’s not holding out for more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And I’ve had far higher offers since,” he adds. “I’ve been offered more money than I ever thought I’d see – and I turned it down.” One buyout offer was from a South Australian company. I ask if the company name begins with “B”? He laughs hysterically but can’t say.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I said it’s not for sale and they said ‘Everything is for sale’ and I had to agree with that,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I said go back, double your offer and I’ll consider it. It was a lot of money, but I’ve built a business for my children and all future generations, if they are willing to work. Nothing comes for free in life.” He reflects on the early days, taking on the entrenched icon of Balfours. “The greatest asset in business is to be underestimated by the opposition,” he says leaning forward. “My rivals stuck with tradition. Their advertising said: ‘Like a pie should taste’ what’s that about? Things change, and tradition is really about what someone else likes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They underestimated that half the population are born overseas – or their parents were.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They put mutton in their pies. For people from Eastern Europe mutton is offensive. You want to make an enemy for life, feed them mutton. It’s cultural in the mind, and in the nose. Mutton smells, it lingers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I brought in choice – steak and mushroom, chicken rendang, satay, curry, goulash, green Thai.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“By the time they woke up I’d got 20 per cent of their business. They spent $1 million buying 10 per cent back so I got 10 per cent for free. And they called me an idiot!” Only an idiot like Vili would open a 24/7 cafe in an industrial area of Adelaide but today it has iconic status. People come direct from the airport for a feed and anywhere the truckies stop again and again must be doing something right. With an alcohol licence – and the pie floater high on the menu – there’s nothing in Adelaide quite like it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He built the cafe as a “guinea pig” to trial new products, but it’s now a highly profitable business. Vili’s cafe Mark II, on Main North Rd, Blair Athol, is equally successful.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You’ve got to understand the markets,” he says. “That’s where the profit lies. You have to know what your ingredients cost. The margins count. Small things become big. Half a per cent on millions is a lot of money.” He has come to understand large regional differences in Australia: For example he cannot sell a pasty in NSW, it’s exclusively sausage rolls and pies. Queensland is the biggest pie market in the country but he is yet to really break in. His biggest commercial failure happened in the Sunshine state with the launch of a cold turkey pie. “I still believe one day it will be a big seller, especially up north,” he says refusing to be beaten. “For the cafe market not the deli market. A lean meat pie with thin pastry that can be eaten cold with a side salad. It can work.” Beef pies are still the biggest seller but the green peppercorn is Vili’s favourite. He will have gluten free pies soon, made off site to ensure they remain uncontaminated with wheat flour, and will bring back an old favourite, the chilli pie, with the notorious advertising tag: “This one will burn at both ends!” The US and China have been difficult markets to crack. “We learned pretty quick who runs America – it’s the transport workers, the unions, the police and the fire brigade,” he says raising his eyebrows.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Greasing palms and feeding everyone along the way is how you get things done. Two entire pallets of pies disappeared from one shipment and their highly intricate tracking system never found them. Then customs were supposed to take away some pies to test the products. We had six different products but they took 15 boxes of Steak and Mushroom – 36 in a box, 500 units! I knew I was being taken for a ride.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We won’t call it corruption, more self-service. Just help yourself! They call it the land of the free, but I was paying for everything.” China remains the jewel in the crown. He’s been in Hong Kong for 20 years but he wants to enter the mainland on his terms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Australian government is so weak,” he claims. “The Chinese can come in here and buy up our farms but we can’t invest in their country. I can’t buy a brick in China – but they can come and buy me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I walked away from China 15 years ago and not much has changed. I believe they would pick my brains and then kick me out.” At home, he’s had tough negotiations with well-known Australian supermarkets. “They don’t want to pay so I don’t deliver,” he says with a smile. “One of them asked, ‘Who do you think you are?’ I told them I’m a guy without a mortgage.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another lengthy battle was with the <span class="companylink">South Australian health department</span> over a 2012 claim his products were the source of a salmonella outbreak that affected 100 people. Milisits sued for defamation in a case lasting six years and costing more than $1m in legal fees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They named me when they shouldn’t have. I won but we’re still arguing over legal costs,” he says. “I’m privileged – I can afford my justice, which is such an indictment on the legal system.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Small business can’t take on the government but they picked the wrong bloke when they picked on me. When I’m right I fight. When I’m wrong it’s damage control – pay up, shut up and get the hell out of there. We all make mistakes.” Four times he’s risked a lot in life – mainly expanding the business – but he’s never risked his marriage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are married 50 years this year but I’m a very tolerant man…,” he says, laughing uncontrollably. “We are culturally very different with our own opinions but that’s why it works. I tell her she’s a lucky woman – but I always do it with a smile.” He is rightly proud of their OAMs, awarded on the same day in 2005, primarily for significant charitable contributions to more than 50 organisations, including Mary Potter Hospice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Forever the crazy marketers, for holidays the couple drive around Australia dropping in on retail customers from Broome to Bateman’s Bay and Devonport to Darwin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We want to see Australia and this is a great way to do it,” he says. “I walk in with a shirt, mug and cap and often I have to show my driver’s licence to prove I’m Vili,” Their biggest adventure was out to their most remote customer, at Hermannsburg, an aboriginal settlement, 125km southwest of Alice Springs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Vili pulled up to the general store and one petrol pump, at the end of 60km of dirt road, in his brand new Mercedes 500.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The guy was open mouthed but we sat down and had a beer. ‘We don’t see reps out here, never mind the owners!’ he said. Reckoned I had him for life.” Baking has Vili for life, too. He says he’ll “never retire” and is “far too young to write a book”. “There’s this ongoing conflict between my brain and body,” he adds. “My body thinks it’s 69 and the brain says 49 – so we settle for 59.” The immediate future holds a long convalescence from the aftermath of another hip operation, complicated by a strangulated hernia that prolonged recovery.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He spent six weeks away from the business in 2014 with a first hip operation after leaping for his life from the path of a speeding car – and hitting the bitumen hard – just outside his cafe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The driver was convicted of driving in a reckless and dangerous manner, and ordered to serve a 12-month good behaviour bond. He also paid the injured baker $1000 compensation. “I got a better deal than him,” he says ruefully.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has to take life a little easier since the incident and indulge other passions, including a good red (the 1999 Elderton Command Shiraz from the Barossa is his favourite), and deep sea fishing trips in Spencer Gulf on his luxury <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There’ll be another pie out soon – “with added zing” – that remains top secret for now. And he will likely make his first radio commercial in 10 years; as well as air some of the classics from the ’80s when he was the “wog pieman” with the funny accent trying to teach Aussies how to bake a national institution.“Rosemary and I wake at 4.30am every day and we roll out of bed with laughter thinking of all the bullshit that’s happened in our life,” Vili adds. “But we know we’ve got a lot to be thankful for – life in Australian is good, very good and when something is this good, you stick with it.” ●</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At a time when Australia and its allies face difficult regional and international challenges, Angus Campbell, the Chief of Army, has the credentials and experience to step into the role of Chief of the Defence Force. Malcolm Turnbull announced the vital appointment yesterday. Deservedly, it also drew opposition support.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In frontline operations, Lieutenant General Campbell, a former elite Special Air Service commander, in 2001 commanded the 2nd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment assisting the <span class="companylink">UN</span> operation to restore order in East Timor. In January 2011 he assumed command of Australian forces in the Middle East, from Afghanistan to the Gulf. As commander of the Abbott government’s successful and controversial Operation Sovereign Borders from 2013 to 2015 that stopped <b>boat</b> arrivals of <b>asylum</b>-seekers, Lt Gen Campbell was stoic and unflappable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From 2005, he gained strategic experience, joining the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet under John Howard as a first assistant secretary to head the Office of National Security. He later was promoted to deputy secretary and deputy national security adviser, preparing advice and co-ordinating policy. In addition to a science degree from the University of NSW, he has a masters in international relations from <span class="companylink">Cambridge University.Last</span> December, in a speech in London about the Australian Army in the Indo-Pacific, Lt Gen Campbell noted the region included “seven of the world’s 10 largest standing militaries and five of the world’s declared nuclear nations”. “Mindsets and modes of industrial age war fighting”, he warned, would not be sufficient to cope with future challenges. Australia was looking to technology that “disproportionately magnifies the scale and effect of our organisation, collective intellect, doctrine, training and education … Soon, perhaps sooner than we might be comfortable, the impact of hypersonic, autonomous robotic, quantum and artificial intelligence technologies will revolutionise the conduct of warfare.” He is clearly ready to position Australia for such an era.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Population | High immigration numbers, obscured by the Coalition's tough line against refugees, have created easy economic growth. Now there's a price to pay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Peter Dutton's best argument for Australia to lower its annual immigration intake is one word: Sydney. Australia's largest city has been made crowded, slow, expensive and unproductive by decades of unplanned immigration.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anyone planning an event knows that it makes a lot more sense to put the tables and chairs out before the guests arrive lest you bump into people and knock over the vases. And anyone living in Sydney now knows it makes more sense to build light rail, and all of the other infrastructure that millions of people will need, before they arrive rather than after.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back in 2000 Australia's population was 19.1 million. And today there are 24.7 million of us bidding up the prices of the same amount of land. Australia's population has grown by the equivalent of an entire Sydney since the Sydney Olympics but obviously our infrastructure has not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is ironic, or perhaps cynical, that Peter Dutton would now be leading the charge on the need to slow Australia's population growth given that he, in his role of Immigration Minister, has done so much to conceal the real causes of Australia's rapid population growth by directing the public's hostility towards the tiny number of <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia's rate of immigration nearly doubled on John Howard's watch, but that simple fact was concealed by his "tough stance" on <b>asylum</b> seekers. Indeed, since Howard refused the Tampa the right to dock after it rescued 433 Afghan <b>asylum</b> seekers back in 2001 Australia has welcomed about 3 million new migrants while resettling fewer than 200,000 refugees. But politicians like Mr Dutton did a great job of hiding the mountain behind the molehill.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Big business loves big population growth because with a population growing by about 2 per cent a year, the fastest in the <span class="companylink">OECD</span>, customer numbers grow by about 2 per cent a year without even trying. For our big banks, retailers, airlines, telcos and petrol companies high levels of immigration growth mean high levels of profit growth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Governments love rapid population growth as well as they have come to treat new arrivals more as new taxpayers rather than as new citizens who deserve the level of public services and amenities Australians once took for granted. Put simply, successive governments, state and federal, have used rapid population growth as an opportunity to cut government spending per person while bragging, year after year, about record levels of total spending. It's a cynical trick, but not nearly as cynical as blaming Australia's crowded cities on those fleeing the wars we were fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While big business and governments love all the revenue that comes from all those extra wallets entering the country, the community has never been as keen. Not because they are all racist, although some clearly are, but because with long waits to get into hospitals, clogged roads, crowded trains and dwindling public space, they couldn't see the plan to accommodate even more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the public's inability to see the plan doesn't mean there isn't one. There is, and it was working a treat until divisions in the Liberal Party shone a spotlight where darkness had been preferred. Rapid population growth without a similarly rapid increase in infrastructure spending delivers better budget outcomes at the expense of worse public services. Rapid population growth delivers better customer numbers without any need to deliver better customer service. And rapid population growth puts downward pressure on wages without the need to train your existing workforce.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no right number of people that can live in Australia, but there is a right way to go about increasing that population if governments had any interest in maintaining, or even improving, Australia's quality of life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If we want to continue to grow by almost 2 million people every five years then we need to start building the infrastructure they will need decades before they arrive, not decades after.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We also need to start using and pricing Australia's existing infrastructure more efficiently. The trucking industry has avoided paying for the damage it does to our roads for decades. The taxi industry monopoly made too many Australians prefer their own car and it now transpires that the reason that so many container trucks are on Sydney's roads is that port privatisations included limitations on container ports being built in regional cities. It's not complicated to fix these problems, but it is more complicated than blaming <b>asylum</b> seekers for our woes.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Syria, Tabhet was not just approached for recruitment by the army of the Syrian government. He also received an "invitation" to join the ranks of one of many rebel groups, the Free Syrian Army.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He thought he had escaped both, taking up a job as a steward with a Saudi charter jet company. "I managed to avoid the slaughter," he says, "but I simply couldn't adjust to the life in Saudi Arabia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Being a moderate Muslim, I found pretty much all of it alien and intrusive. Everything there revolves around faith and countless 'special rules' that I never heard of in Syria. It repelled me. My ideas about Islam were beginning to crumble," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2015, three years after Tabhet started his job, all the Syrian employees in Saudi companies were told they were to return to their homeland. Syria and Saudi Arabia severed all ties.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tabhet flew to Turkey and rented a room in a house in Istanbul, where 22 other Syrians were already living. Many had arrived straight from the battlefield. They were veterans of war, exhausted and traumatised. Many had been radicalised. Having turned his back on Islam, Tabhet found their company unbearable as they tried to push their doctrines on him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was forced, again, to leave.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Returning to Damascus, he landed a well-paid job with a company renting out aircraft. But by then, bombs were crashing down on the section of Damascus where his family lived.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was the first half of 2015, when countless thousands of Syrian refugees had already struck off for the Aegean Islands and beyond. Tabhet's father, mother, brother and sister fled for Turkey. They arrived virtually penniless. Tabhet kept working in Damascus to support them. Then, in October 2016, Tabhet himself arrived in Greece after a perilous night voyage on an overcrowded rubber <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was just over six months after the Balkan <b>refugee</b> route was closed down. Tabhet knew he was too late. Tens of thousands of refugees and migrants were already stranded in Greece. When he arrived, police threw him into a huge tent outside a <b>refugee</b> camp.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There were so many people crowded in that tent. We were utterly devastated. Hungry. Filthy. They were treating us like criminals. We were insulted and pushed around. Was this how Europe was treating refugees? I escaped the very first night."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was promptly caught and beaten by the island police.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From then on, Tabhet co-operated with the local solidarity movement and the various NGOs. He put in many hours as a translator. He sought out a local Orthodox priest and informed him of his plight. The priest lost little time, and soon he was baptised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tabhet has since spent most of his time on the island at the infamous Vathy <b>refugee</b> camp, where the living standards are worse than at other "hot spots" on Lesbos and Chios.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the day we meet, two days of rain have finally let up. I am the first journalist for a long time to enter the Vathy camp, and I only manage to do so with the help of a group of residents. The camp is set up on a steep slope above the island's capital. A muddy creek runs down the hill, and drying laundry hangs off the omnipresent barbed wire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The camp's official capacity is 700. It is currently housing at least 1500, and fresh refugees are arriving all the time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On some days, the camp's residents are required to queue for two hours for food. Their tents are so thin they are suited only to warm, dry summer nights. In the camp's upper section, where the unaccompanied minors are housed, the ground is strewn with broken glass. The boys and young men are simply left to fend for themselves.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A gag-inducing reek blows in from the toilets. Many of the families spend most of their time inside the containers. The campsite is simply not safe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Alcohol, drugs and savage brawls are abundant. Many of the camp's traumatised and humiliated inmates are losing patience. Their anger is directed mainly at the continent of Europe, whose bureaucrats have seemingly solved the <b>refugee</b> problem by turning it into a life-sized Raft of the Medusa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One day, when Tabhet visited a small Orthodox church on the outskirts of Istanbul, a gang of young men beat him up as an infidel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In hospital, he was questioned by police. He arrived at his first <b>asylum</b> interview the following day with a broken nose. After a five-month wait, his application was turned down. A local lawyer helped him formulate an appeal. But that was turned down too. Now he is destined to be deported to Turkey under the EU-Turkey deal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To try to avoid deportation, Tabhet accepted his priest's offer to move in to the monastery for a while. After a few weeks, he was caught and put in a cell at the local police station.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Several times over the next few months, in the company of petty criminals, Tabhet came to believe he was losing his mind. Apart from his cellmates, he was completely cut off from the world. For a hundred days, Tabhet did not see the light of day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then one morning, he simply collapsed. His blood sugar levels were in the potentially lethal range. At the hospital, the doctor recommended Tabhet be released immediately. His release certificate took 12 days to arrive from Athens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The whole system here is rotten! They had all the relevant information about me, but it didn't seem to matter one bit," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Now I'm lost, with no chance of continuing my journey. I'm trapped on this island, and sooner or later I'll get deported to Turkey."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turkey, though, does not seem such a bad option any more. Tabhet's faith in Europe has virtually disappeared.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"All I wanted was to be safe," he told me with tears in his eyes. "I couldn't have been more wrong about Europe."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The European <b>refugee</b> policy, and especially the conditions at the reception centres, is stripping the refugees of all dignity," says Aliki Meimaridou, who provides mental support projects on Samos for NGO Medecins sans Frontieres. "They are being treated as a homogenous mass."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meimaridou has worked on the island since last November. She says living conditions are scandalous. "Housing people amid the mud and the rats in these overcrowded camps is humiliating. It is also not safe, especially for the women.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There is a great deal of stress, depression and self-harm. These people have lost all control over their lives. All the international human-rights conventions are being violated on a daily basis. The procedures for obtaining <b>asylum</b> status are slow and chaotic," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meimaridou says a system which imposes a "hierarchy of vulnerability" has driven the refugees to self-harm, or even to get pregnant to increase their chances of being noticed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"These poor, aggressively passivised people are afraid to confess to getting better. They know it would surely rob them of any chance of obtaining the medical certificate enabling them to proceed to Athens."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UNHCR spokesman Boris Cheshirkov agrees. More vulnerable refugees have arrived in Greece over the past several months, and roughly 40 per cent are children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Many of them are travelling alone. The reception centres have become a dangerous environment for women. There is very little oversight of what goes on. Sexual violence is on the rise."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Majida Ali, 41, comes from a village near besieged eastern Ghouta, the scene of fierce fighting in recent months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Before the war, Ali ran a business planning weddings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Having grown up in a military family - her late father was a high-ranking officer in the Syrian army - she refused believe reports of regime atrocities against protesters when conflict first broke out in 2011. She could not believe the news of the sudden emergence of foreign fighters across some of Damascus's districts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So she took to the streets to check what was happening. She took pictures of the protests and the first tanks hitting the streets. A few weeks later, the last of her illusions crumbled. What she found hardest to grasp was how perfectly normal people could overnight morph into cold-blooded killers, and how easily the old, repressed hatreds could turn into outbreaks of collective lunacy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her friends and relatives started disappearing. After a few months, she herself was arrested by government soldiers. The photographs found on her camera's memory card made sure she was immediately jailed. For a month she was beaten and tortured. She became the victim of several sexual assaults.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I very quickly became a totally different human being. It was the only way for me to survive. Yet at the same time I decided I would seize the first opportunity to become a humanitarian worker. I would help people out as best I could," Ali tells me as we sit at a sunny cafe on Samos.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After her release from prison, she was apprehended by the members of the Free Syrian Army. At first she believed their intentions were honourable. But she was accused of collaborating with the regime and thrown in an improvised jail cell.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The whole sordid tale of the Damascus prison repeated itself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On April 3, 2016, she arrived in Greece. It was just a few days after the Balkan <b>refugee</b> route shut down. She has been in this camp longer than any other <b>refugee</b> or migrant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"When we arrived in Samos, we were all put inside a closed camp. It was just one more prison. I was profoundly traumatised. I even lost my memory for a while. I was alone and vulnerable. I wasn't at all familiar with my rights. I was in dire need of all kinds of assistance," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was her first contact with the continent of Europe: danger instead of safety, prison instead of aid, humiliation in place of dignity. It took 14 months after she filed her application for the first official interview to take place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Throughout our conversation, she keeps flicking anxious glances at her phone. She is perpetually terrified of receiving a call from eastern Ghouta and the Damascan quarters that had been bombed hard over the past few months. A month ago, the regime bombardment cost her another sister. She has lost 45 relatives to the Syrian war.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her three brothers are being held in three different prisons. She does not know if they are alive. But her greatest fears concern her mother. After the bombs flattened the family home, she moved to a safer part of Damascus where she now spends her days preparing meals for 400 people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Refugee</b> status is nothing new for Ali's family. Her grandfather was a reputable Palestinian businessman. Fleeing Israeli violence in 1949, he left the country and bought a large plot of land on the outskirts of Damascus and built housing for numerous Palestinian families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It seems that being refugees is my family's eternal fate, and the fate of thousands of other families from our country," Ali says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Together, we are a mirror to the world."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We're taking part in a Festival of Live Art project called Landing. The lappers are aiming to swim the equivalent distance from Manus Island to the Australian mainland. It's just the latest in a wave of cultural events focusing on <b>asylum</b> seekers.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">STATELESS ROHINGYA REFUGEES WHO ARE TRAPPED IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA ARE WAITING IN DESPAIR FOR AUSTRALIA TO HELP THEM, WRITES CHARLES MIRANDA</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sitting on the edge of his bed in a rundown roach motel north of Papua New Guinea’s capital Port Moresby, Sahil Rahman doesn’t have much hope to cling to — but in his hand he clutches a letter from the Australian government promising help.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unfortunately for him it is dated 2014 and cites an Australian prime minister and immigration minister no longer in their jobs, and an empty promise of cash and resettlement that this week was effectively declared not possible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I stopped caring long ago about my conditions here or my own condition. I’ve lost my hair and my family and I can’t see a time in my life where I will be happy again. I’ve just given up,” he says, as fumigators in masks spray the walls and halls for cockroaches again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But Australia’s government, I have nothing against them and maybe they can still help.” They won’t. Rahman is a stateless Rohingya <b>refugee</b> who fled Myanmar and persecution and ended up in a motel in PNG, a halfway house for some 60 refugees who had been housed on Manus Island and now sit around the hotel’s patio waiting to be told their fate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The departments of Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop had offered “reintegration assistance packages”, including cash incentives, for Rahman and other Rohingya in PNG to “rebuild your life in the country of your return”, suggesting it was safe and fine to go back.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the United Nations has this week declared Myanmar (formerly Burma) not ready for repatriation of the Rohingya, 700,000 of whom have been forced to flee to neighbouring countries since last August to avoid what has effectively been state-sanctioned systemic ethnic cleansing under the guise of declared “legitimate” counter-terrorism “clearance operations” against Muslim rebels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a rare granting of access, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Ursula Mueller made a six-day visit to the largely Buddhist country and the affected Rakhine State and met the military and defacto ruler Aung San Suu Kyi, who has faced international condemnation over her handling of the crisis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The visit came as the Myanmar army sentenced seven of its soldiers to 10 years’ jail for a massacre of Rohingya men in September last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“From what I’ve seen and heard from people, no access to health services, concerns about protection, continued displacements conditions, are not conducive to return,” she formally declared.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I witnessed areas where villages were burned down and bulldozed ... I’ve not seen or heard that there are any preparations for people to go to their places of origin.” It was the <span class="companylink">UN</span> that previously declared it was ethnic cleansing after the bulldozing of 55 villages by the state led to violent clashes and ultimately a death toll that medical charity <span class="companylink">Doctors Without Borders (MSF) </span>has put at between 9000 and almost 14,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rahman’s father was a statistic in that toll.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I left my country (Myanmar) in October 2007 and went to Malaysia to work, where I stayed for five years,” he says. “We were Muslim and were being persecuted all the time and when I finished high school my father said ‘I can’t protect you, you must leave and find your own way and a way to help us’. I have three younger brothers and my mother.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I left for Australia in 2012 … I am now 30 years old and I have not found my path in life. My father is dead. Of course I regret leaving but I had nothing, I was stateless in Myanmar and that is still the case. I know I can change my life. I want to work. I am a car mechanic and a scaffolder, but I’ve entered the ‘game’. That’s what we call it — you enter the game like a TV show and some have luck and some bad luck. It is unfair.” Rohingya former sales assistant Abdul Rahim, 30, also arrived in a 100-person <b>boat</b> at Christmas Island in July 2013. He had been on Manus Island and is now in the motel, where he has been waiting for medical care for a hernia. He has one brother, Ayub, in Sydney; another had been in Nauru but he has lost contact. “I am a nothing person for these powerful countries like Australia but I don’t know why they play with me,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Around us, Iranians and Iraqis mix with Sudanese and Somalis. One Iraqi, Abdul, shows me mobile phone images of blood he has recently been spitting up. He sent the images to doctors in Australia for advice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I need help. I have an infection in my stomach but after five months here no one can help me,” he says as he shuffles through the motel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has lost track of all time but says he had been on Manus Island for five years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">South-East Asia’s hardman, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, called the situation in Myanmar a genocide, offering to take in refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In November 2015, then Immigration Minister Dutton went to Jordan to meet some of the 12,000 refugees from Iraq and Syria who were to be given special new homes in Australia on top of the annual <b>refugee</b> intake. No special case resettlement was planned for the Myanmar crisis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian Council for International Development chief Marc Purcell visited PNG in December last year and was horrified, particularly by the mental anguish of refugees. He says New Zealand had offered to take some but the offer was not being taken up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“These people in PNG are Australia’s responsibility and not the responsibility of the Papua New Guinean government even though they are hosting them. Australia has to resettle them,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We learnt from the PNG government the prospects of resettlement were negligible. They have high rates of unemployment of their own people, there are no job prospects, in a cultural way that land is tied up, prospects to settle are limited, there are no settlement services and there is unfortunately high rates of violence in the community at street level and as an outsider you are very vulnerable to be assaulted and we met people who opted to live in settlement assaulted by alcohol-induced violence.” He says he hopes Australia’s <b>refugee</b> program would take into account these people, some of whom had been in PNG for five years, under special circumstances like the Vietnamese refugees in the 1970s and those from the Middle East in 2015.“Australia is one of the wealthiest nations in the world and needs to step up not just in humanitarian assistance but in resettlement of refugees … where the hell are you Australia?” he asks.</p>

But in a pokey, tucked-away office at Footscray Hospital, those differences melt away.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’ve covered almost every corner of the globe, and we are a harmonious department.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And when the patient doesn’t speak English, the unenviable task of telling someone they are dying also falls on the shoulders of the in-house interpreters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You can go from a simple physio appointment where there’s nothing majorto telling someone they are dying within half an hour,” Bongiovanni says. “We are just a voice box, but we are also human, and like doctors and nurses, we have to learn to be resilient.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It does have an impact on us, but knowing you have made a difference keeps you going. There’s nothing more amazing than seeing a patient’s face light up when you speak to them and they know someone can understand them.” Patients can vary from long-term residents who have never mastered English to new arrivals and refugees, who Bongiovanni says require another level of understanding.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have a huge variety of patients, but we have a really good team, too, and with some of them being refugees themselves, it provides another layer to it, to be interpreting for other refugees and understanding where they have come from,” she says.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">MAI DINH VIETNAMESE INTERPRETER FOR three decades, Mai Dinh wondered about the fate of a little boy her family had befriended in a <b>refugee</b> camp.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 51-year-old fled her home in Vietnam during the Communist regime in 1981. At just 14, she spent weeks in a cramped 10m-long <b>boat</b> with 52 other people before arriving at the Galang <b>refugee</b> camp in the Riau Islands of Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the harrowing journey, they met a boy of just five or six who was living in the camp with no family. He took an instant shine to Dinh.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My hair had gone a bit yellow from the sun, and he thought I was American, so he started following me,” she says. “I took him back to my group and he just stayed, so my brothers and sisters and I took him in and he became one of us.” Two years later, the family was accepted to go to Australia, but Dinh was devastated to leave the boy behind.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When we left, I asked two sisters to take care of him, then we had a picture taken with him and we said goodbye,” she says. “He was so sad, he just cried and stayed on the beach until our <b>boat</b> was out of sight.” That was the last time Dinh saw him — until 2014. Incredibly, and in testament to the power of social media, Duoy Dinh, who now lives in Boston and graduated from university with a PhD in science, tracked down Dinh’s family after putting a call out on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> that was spotted by a friend of the Dinh family.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He wanted to say thank you for taking him in when he had no one, and when I sent him back the pictures we took of him on our last day together, he was so excited because he didn’t know what he looked like as a child,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The pair have since had an emotional reunion in Australia and travelled back to Vietnam together.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s a story Dinh loves to share with her Vietnamese patients, who make up to 30 per cent of non-English-speaking patients. She says her memories of life in the <b>refugee</b> camp make her sympathetic and empathetic to them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I started learning English during classes in the camp, but I remember this captain on the big <b>boat</b> asking me if I was cold, and it was freezing, but I didn’t know any other words, so I just said no. I always remembered that,” she says. “I like knowing that in my job now, communication happens because of me; and health is such an important aspect of your life, you can’t make mistakes or use the wrong words.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NABIL DINKHA ARABIC INTERPRETER SOME moments are simply universal — a baby’s smile, a mother’s tears or a kiss between an elderly couple, need no translation. The pain that comes into Nabil Dinkha’s eyes when he talks about the terror that propelled him to flee his homeland of Iraq, also cuts across all spoken words.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dinkha arrived in Australia in 1995, after an exhausting journey that would span more than half a decade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We were Christians so we were considered a minority in Iraq,” he says. “I loved my place where I grew up, I had many friends and many memories, but they don’t exist there any more.” In 1990, after serving more than 10 years in Iraq’s conscription military, Dinkha, married with two small children under three, received a phone call from a friend that would change the trajectory of his life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When people would call from overseas they would talk in codes and my friends said, ‘Nabil, my brother rang me and said it’s going to rain very bad there, so bad we won’t be able to leave the house’, and I thought he must mean another war and I had to do something about it,” he says, referring to what we know as the Gulf War.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What he did was compile documents for himself and his wife, a school teacher. As public servants, they were not allowed to be issued passports. He then spent three days queuing at the Greek embassy in Baghdad hoping to secure a tourist visa to the only country that had opened its doors to Iraqi migrants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was a big risk we took, and going through Customs I was so worried, but they said, ‘Welcome to Athens’,” he says “I was moving forward when someone tapped me on the back. It was a policeman who said the Customs officer would like to speak to me again. I was terrified, but he just looked at my visa again and said, ‘OK, you can go’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But then we had to have our bags checked, and I was terrified again as my mother-in-law packed so much milk powder formula for the kids because she said we wouldn’t have enough money to buy it there. So she put it in bags, like cocaine or something.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But while we were waiting, my wife said to me, ‘Look, Nabil, the door is open, you can see the road, a taxi is there’. A door just opened for us from nowhere.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“How did that happen? Was it a miracle? Was it some fault with the doors? I do not know, but it opened for us, and we left, without being checked.” In Greece, Dinkha registered for his family to become refugees in New Zealand, where they lived for five years before moving to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Working in a hospital, Dinkha sees a number of <b>refugee</b> patients whose struggles don’t stop once they reach our shores.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“One of my patients I met at a rehabilitation ward at Sunshine Hospital after he had a stroke,” he says. “He was a teacher in Iraq for 40 years until he fled. His family, including his children and his disabled sister, were lucky enough to be accepted as refugees to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“After his stroke, he was asking to see his sister, but his family said she was unwell and stayed home. It turns out she died.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They finally fled and arrived to the resting place that they dreamt about, and she died and he had a stroke. I got to know the whole family, teaching them how to get him back home and look after him, and then his son told me his dad had another stroke. He passed away a few days later.” But Dinkha’s experiences have built up his resilience and allowed him to find common humanity between patients.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have to shut the door behind us, because otherwise we wouldn’t survive,” he says. “But that connection is really helpful, it lifts your spirit, and their spirit. Despite all the sad stories, there are good ones.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You can see the appreciation in the patient’s eye. It is a job, we earn income, but at the same time, it is a humanitarian thing.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">STEVE FILIS GREEK INTERPRETER BEING heptalingual — speaking seven languages — has earned Steve Filis the workplace moniker of Einstein.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Born in Melbourne in 1964, Filis relocated to Greece at just 18 months, returning to Australia when he was seven.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It took me three years to converse in English,” he says. But once he mastered his second language, his enthusiasm and curiosity for languages kicked in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Melbourne has over 100 languages that are spoken, so I took advantage of it.” Attending Brunswick East High School, which funnelled in new migrants, Filis was surrounded by a hum of languages.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Going to school in the mid-’70s, there were a lot of kids coming from the Lebanese civil war, so I started to learn Arabic,” he says. “But my only friends, the only ones who would talk to me during recess, were Turkish, and preferred speaking Turkish to English, so it was either be alone or learn Turkish.” Growing up in a large Italian area also prompted Filis to study Italian at university, which helped perfect his Portuguese and Spanish. But on the job, he translates in his mother tongue of Greek.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This side of town is the most linguistically diverse of all of Melbourne; we get requests for languages I’ve never heard of — I had never heard of (Chinese dialect) Teochew,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there is more to the job than capturing the meaning of medical jargon. “One oncologist said to me last year, ‘What you guys do comes from the heart’. “You never forget patients and it does hurt when you have to tell them that what the doctors are saying is that we have reached the end of all therapy that we can try, and nothing has worked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I have had to tell myself, ‘If you start blubbering right now, what sort of interpreting are you actually going to do, you will be of no service or use to anybody, so hold back and steel yourself’.“But it’s really great when you can deliver great news.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Love is dead. Shorten yesterday: I think the AMA is being used as a pawn there by the government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They’ll always have Melbourne? Shorten at the AMA Conference, May 26 last year: Your authenticity, your conviction, your influence was felt in every corner of the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Canberra. Shorten at the AMA Alcohol Summit, October 29, 2014: I congratulate the AMA and everyone who was worked to make this summit take place ... the leadership displayed by the AMA ...</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But is there hope for a reunion by the next election? Shorten, May 26 last year: So, the AMA ... you had a tremendous significance and healthcare had a centre stage role in the last election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten’s Labor ally Joel Fitzgibbon told a funny joke on Sky News yesterday: Kieran Gilbert: But Labor still has got some internal divisions on this particular matter, doesn’t it, in terms of members of the left who aren’t comfortable with offshore processing?</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sarvenaz Almasi is one of the lucky ones.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Kurdish Iranian <b>refugee</b> has a full scholarship to cover the costs of her bachelor of health sciences degree course at Swinburne University in Melbourne.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Majoring in psychology, Ms Almasi has finished one year of her course and is looking forward to graduating and, she hopes, beginning work in the field.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 20 universities across Australia provide scholarships of various kinds for refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers, in some cases offering bursaries because most <b>asylum</b>-seekers with tenuous residency rights are not eligible for the Higher Education Loan Program, and once they begin a university course financial support from the government dries up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unfortunately, demand far exceeds supply because most institutions can afford to offer only a handful of scholarships.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year Swinburne established Welcome Scholarships, giving refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers holding a bridging visa E, temporary protection visa or safe haven enterprise visa an opportunity to study at university without the burden of tuition fees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The scholarships, which continue this year, apply to places in undergraduate courses, foundation/UniLink diplomas, diplomas/advanced diplomas and certificate level courses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Almasi fled Iran with her parents and younger sister in 2013 when she was 21 and enrolled in a course at Tehran University.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Kurds, her relatives are from the often-oppressed ethnic group that spans four nations in the Middle East: Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her family was particularly politically active, she says, and agitated against the ruling regime in Iran, which led them into trouble.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“All my uncles and aunties have been active against the government,” she says. “Some of them have been hanged. Others have been sentenced to death. Some of them had to flee the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My other uncle was serving the only opposition group working against the government of Iran, for about 18 years, and outside the country when they had a camp in Iraq. Because of his injuries he had to leave, but he is still supporting the group.” Life in Iran became almost impossible for the Almasi family. “The government is a dictatorship regime and as years went by everything got more difficult and more dangerous and more people were getting arrested,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So Ms Almasi’s family fled to Jakarta and bought passages on an illegal <b>boat</b> to Australia. She won’t even call it a <b>boat</b>, she says it was a “piece of wood” carrying between 70 and 100 <b>asylum</b>-seekers., including women and children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The leaky vessel eventually wound up in Australian waters. The passengers were rescued by the Royal Australian Navy and soon the Almasi family found itself in a detention centre near Perth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This happened before the Manus Island and Nauru <b>asylum</b>-seeker detention centres began operation, and Ms Almasi and her parents and sister eventually were released to the community in Melbourne.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She arrived in Australia without speaking a word of English, she says, and almost immediately began looking for a way to get back to university. It proved difficult. “I couldn’t go anywhere because of my visa; no university, no TAFE organisation, no school, no one would enrol me, just because I had a bridging visa,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Almasi now has a five-year safe haven enterprise visa. She lives in Hadfield in northern Melbourne with her mother and her sister (her father lives elsewhere) and she is enjoying her return to university.“The scholarship is a golden chance of getting through university for me,” she says.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ahead of Labor’s national conference in July, The West Australian has been told of internal manoeuvrings that could lead to the WA branches of the militant construction and maritime unions being frozen out.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is understood the Left faction of WA Labor has questioned whether the local branches of the <span class="companylink">Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union</span> and the <span class="companylink">Maritime Union of Australia</span> should be allowed to caucus with the Left nationally.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The move is being seen as payback against the CFMEU and the MUA after the unions split from the WA Left last year to form a new power bloc known as “Progressive Labor”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the push could stymie bids by the Left to gain control of the national conference, which will set the policy direction for Federal Labor heading into an election it is expected to win.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The faction is expected to pursue a similar agenda at the conference in Adelaide, where it wants Labor to “increase taxes on the wealthy”, boost union power and end the <b>asylum</b> seeker <b>boat</b> policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">MUA State secretary Christy Cain, whose union is merging with the CFMEU to create a super union, said any attempt to exclude the WA branches from meeting with the Left nationally was “ridiculous”.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Martin Sellner likes to call what he does "a kind of patriotic <span class="companylink">Greenpeace</span>".</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The American Weekly Standard magazine has dubbed it "Nazism for hipsters". Anti-fascist group Hope Not Hate says 29-year-old Austrian activist Sellner is the spokesman for a racist, extreme far-right group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner says it is a "rash exaggeration" to dub his group xenophobic or racist - "actually we love and cherish different cultures", he says, though he warns the coming "great replacement" of Europeans by Muslim and African immigrants would be a "very bad thing".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Oh, and his group has sued an Austrian TV station that called them neo-Nazis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It might sound like a familiar and frustrating debate over fringe European politics. But Sellner and his political and alternative media allies may also be behind Australia's new-found interest in the fortunes of white South African farmers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner is one of the founding and leading (and most media-savvy and camera-friendly) figures in the Identitarian movement, a group of European anti-immigration activists who have gained surprising visibility in recent years for stunts such as putting a veil on a Vienna statue to protest the "Islamisation of Austria", or putting a <b>boat</b> onto the Mediterranean to harass and surveil <b>refugee</b> rescue ships.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Their messages spread via slick, hugely popular online videos and video blogs: high definition, high-production value meme-ready content set to booming music.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Sellner says they - and perhaps he - are on their way to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a nutshell, the Identitarian theme is that foreigners are probably fine as long as they don't come to Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent months, as migrant numbers ebbed in southern Europe, Identitarians turned to the plight of white South African farmers as their cause du jour. They hammered the claim of an "epidemic of white murders" ignored by a complicit, leftist media.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The issue is far from new. Two decades ago, Nelson Mandela deplored "cold-blooded killings" on farms, adding "killing on farms, like crime in general, have been a feature of South African life for many decades". Official data shows an increase in farm attacks in South Africa in the past year, but in the context of a general increase in violent crime. By one count, only 2 per cent of the attacks had a political or racial motivation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But in the right-wing's <span class="companylink">YouTube</span> bubble it was big new news.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Canadian far-right commentator Faith J. Goldy tweeted in February that South Africa had become the "flavour of the month" among like-minded bloggers and there was a "rush to get content out".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner says they are using it to foretell the future for all of us.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"[South Africa is] a very telling, a very drastic warning to the whole West about what happened to this so-called Rainbow Nation. I think it's very good that we are talking about it now and it gets into the public awareness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"When you don't control the national borders, in the end you will be just like these South African townships and farms, you will be forced to defend your life and your family at ... your fences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That's what could happen if you are creating these multiculturalist societies where diversity reaches a point and a level where it becomes toxic, violent and dangerous."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Within months of the issue going on high rotation in the alt-rightosphere, Australian politicians spoke up. "Just imagine the reaction here in Australia if a comparable number of farmers had been brutally murdered by squatters intent on driving them off their land ... we would say this is a national crisis," said former PM Tony Abbott.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was following Peter Dutton: last month the Home Affairs Minister told The Daily Telegraph that white South African farmers deserved "special attention" such as fast-tracked visas because of their "horrific circumstances". Dutton, in turn, was apparently reacting to a news report and strident columns in <span class="companylink">News Corp</span> newspapers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And for this, Sellner claims credit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He says the key to his group Generation Identity's activism is "becoming our own media".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"<span class="companylink">YouTube</span> has been conquered by conservatives," he says. "This is pressuring mainstream media to report about us, to get into a discussion with us, take these concerns seriously. If they don't do this it will give rise to a huge network, an empire of alternative media.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Generation Z, they don't want TV any more, they have their own TV channel on <span class="companylink">YouTube</span> ... [where] dissident thinkers have the most traction, the best flow, the most interest and the most conversation and interaction going on with the videos.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That's a big threat to mainstream media and it will grow and grow until the mainstream media platforms decide to take these topics into their discourse."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It works exactly the same way with political parties, he says. "If you are creating a strong and big alternative you are forcing the mainstream to adapt if they don't want to lose traction, they don't want to lose interest."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner was a moral philosophy student in Austria five years ago when he saw a viral video of an Identitarian stunt in France: the occupation of a mosque in Poitiers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner says it was a "declaration of war against this ideology of multiculturalism and the generation of '68, symbolically of course." (He insists Generation Identity are non-violent.)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He and his study group founded Generation Identity in Austria straight away, he says. "We were fascinated."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It appealed because it chimed with his concerns, such as the "Islamisation" of Europe, but it was expressed via street theatre activism, banner drops, "stuff that conservatives have never been doing before".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And he also, he says, appreciated that "it's a movement that clearly distances itself from any form of racism or chauvinism or actual hatred ... actually we love and cherish different cultures and I think a certain amount of diversity is all the good. But it's always a question about the amount."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many - such as Hope Not Hate - simply do not accept Sellner's claim that Generation Identity isn't racist. This view is, apparently, shared by the <span class="companylink">British government</span>, which last month refused entry to Sellner and his vlogger girlfriend Brittany Pettibone, on the grounds that "their presence in the UK was not conducive to the public good".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner, who had intended to read a speech about free speech at Hyde Park's Speaker's Corner, says he was detained for three days and deported in an "utter failure" of British democracy. He said he was told authorities thought his speech might incite tension between local communities, and that GI was known or accused of inciting racial tensions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I think this is the bankrupting of freedom of speech in the UK," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner insists he and his group aren't racist. "We don't want to dehumanise anybody or attack a certain group of people," he says. "We always direct our activism against decision makers, against policies, against systems not against individuals or groups of people."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it has "demands" including that "our borders must be categorically defended against mass migration and the Great Replacement", calling the latter "the process by which the indigenous European population is replaced by non-European migrants".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of its three core aims is to "stop and reverse" this process.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On social media GI goes to great pains to highlight crimes committed in Europe by migrants, with a particular focus on sexual crimes against women.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's unsurprising that GI-related social media attracts exactly the kind of comments that GI claims to eschew. You don't have to scroll far down a typical GI <span class="companylink">YouTube</span> video before finding Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and racist paranoia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner both accepts and rejects responsibility for this. "In a way it's guilt by association," he complains. "[We are] judged not by the thing we promote, but other people who completely, uncontrollably support or like you.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"[In] every political side and every political system ... there are the certain trolls and haters. We don't even know if they are real ones or just agent provocateurs."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sellner says GI's "Defend Europe" action last year in the Mediterranean attracted interest from "a lot of people in Australia". He thinks we're fertile ground for a similar movement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's already there, it's in the air and it's just a matter of time until a few people take it up and adapt the strategies and bring this kind of activism, this kind of tactics to Australia as well," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He's also in talks to visit personally, though he is coy about the details. "There have been invitations, people interested, there's nothing fixed, nothing public right now," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As hints go, it's a heavy one.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Humanity Two new movies might make us ponder how we look at the lives of the saintly today, writes John McDonald.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In pre-Enlightenment days, "history" was a mass of tall stories, myths and rumours. Authors were happy to recount tales of miracles and supernatural events, readers were happy to believe them. In the mid-1800s it was still scandalous when writers such as David Strauss and Ernst Renan began to challenge the historical basis of the Bible, but at least they weren't burnt at the stake.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two movies this week made me think about how we might look at the life of a saint today. Paul: Apostle of Christ is yet another Hollywood biopic of one of the great figures of Christian tradition. Although Jesus laid the groundwork, it was Saint Paul who turned an unorthodox Jewish sect into a religion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Andrew Hyatt's movie catches up with Paul as he awaits his fate in a Roman prison, while the Emperor Nero is using Christians as human torches to light up his garden parties. In the manner of this latest wave of religious films there is a lot of talk punctuated by flashbacks in which the salient events of Paul's life are recalled. It's all being written down by Luke (Jim Caviezel), who is compiling his Gospel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Historians would first quibble about James Faulkner's impersonation of Paul, who was described in the Apocrypha as being small and bandy-legged. Faulkner looks far too strapping for the part, even in his prison cell.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To convey the essential goodness of the saints to a mass audience, filmmakers have always made them handsome types. Pier Paolo Pasolini is the shining exception, with his ugly, cranky, peasant Jesus in The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964). To make the message widely accessible, most directors rely on a form of realism that resembles a TV soap opera. Garth Davis does this with Mary Magdalene, and Hyatt does the same with Paul.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The result is that Paul loses his aura as one of the most enigmatic and electrifying figures in the New Testament - the man who said Jesus would come like a thief in the night - and becomes a mere talking head. It probably doesn't help that his Roman captor, Mauritius (Olivier Martinez), has an accent reminiscent of the Cisco Kid's offsider, Pancho.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One might compare this pedestrian portrait of Saint Paul with the character of Waldemar Wikström in Aki Kaurismäki's The Other Side of Hope. Paul was a man of contradictions who began as a persecutor of Jesus's followers and became the most fervent of disciples. Waldemar (Sakari Kuosmanen) is an equally contradictory figure. He begins the film as a 60-year-old travelling salesman, who decides to change his life. He leaves his wife and goes off to play high-stakes poker with some unsavoury characters. His winnings are invested in a rundown restaurant that he transforms into a sushi joint.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Waldemar's story intersects with that of Khaled (Sherwan Haji), a Syrian <b>refugee</b> who has escaped to Finland on a coal <b>boat</b>, the two men fight and bop each other on the nose.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then Waldemar offers Khaled a job.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like Saint Paul, Waldemar embraces a new life and practices a kind of charity born solely from feelings of sympathy and shared humanity. In other places, the refugees are met with the deadening force of bureaucracy, the suspicion of the general public and the aggressive hatred of skinhead groups. What comes naturally to Waldemar does not come at all to other people. In contemporary Western society, he is a secular saint - flawed, but filled with kindness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kaurismäki is often described as a "minimalist" because he doesn't waste time developing a plot or laying deep psychological foundations for his characters' actions. In his movies, we are genuine spectators obliged to judge people by what they do, rather than what they are. It's a trait one also finds in François Truffaut's films.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kaurismäki's style is deadpan and broadly comical. He brings out the absurdity of everyday life, showing that it's not necessary to conform to the same deadening routines as everyone else, or succumb to the same anxieties. Waldemar is a maverick yet he is not the least bit strident about his choices. Kaurismäki's protagonists do not proselytise from soap boxes. His films don't hammer out moral lessons.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Where a movie like Paul: Apostle of Christ is puffed up with portentous dialogue, The Other Side of Hope has long silent passages. When the characters talk it's for practical purposes. A friend at the hostel advises Khaled to smile during his <b>refugee</b> interview, as the sad ones get deported. On the street, however, he must keep a straight face at all times.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We feel the hollowness and absurdity of the <b>refugee</b>'s life - the need to be always appreciative of the country that offers sanctuary, even when it treats you like a criminal. Khaled is dogged by insecurity, but his benefactor, Waldemar, has embraced this state, having given up the stability of his previous existence. Perhaps this is the message of a contemporary saint: that somewhere between the pain of statelessness and the smothering conformity of most communities, there lies a promise of freedom.W</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Angel Chen, 26, and Jeffrey Effendi, 27, co-founders of marketing firm DrawHistory, are named in a list of the top 30 young business people in the media industry in the Asia Pacific region.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are believed to be the only West Australians on the annual global list.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Effendi described DrawHistory as a marketing firm which focuses on promoting philanthropic groups and social ventures in a bid to reduce inequality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The pair said DrawHistory operated under the social entrepreneurial model, in which profits were generated in order to sustain their good work around the globe. Unlike not-for-profit organisations, they did not have the pressure of having to win grants and donations in order to operate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You can be a business which makes profit and still do good,” Ms Chen said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Purpose and profit is something we advocate.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The pair believe millennials are changing the course of business, by using their consumer dollars to support corporations that use their power and profits to give back to the community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Corporations in more than 40 countries have already joined the emerging B Corp movement in which they pledge to create positive change, and to redefine success away from being the best towards doing their best to help others.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Effendi said his drive to reduce inequality stemmed from his childhood as an ethnic Chinese youngster forced to flee Indonesia’s racial tensions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He and his family hid, escaped in a van, island hopped in a <b>boat</b> and eventually flew to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said his experience led him to realise that not everyone had the opportunities that he came to enjoy in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of the programs the pair have run was a campaign last year with The Humanitarian Group in Victoria Park, which raised $92,000 through crowdfunding to fund legal assistance to 80 people seeking <b>asylum</b>.</p>

It was implemented in the early 1990s for the caseload of <b>refugee</b> status applicants at that time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But now, it results in thousands of migrants who arrived by <b>boat</b> from Sri Lanka, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Bangladesh and Pakistan being accepted as refugees, when they are economic migrants for whom we have no protection obligations.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Between 2008 and 2013, 45,250 migrants arrived by <b>boat</b> and applied for protection. Some 14,800 or 88 per cent of those processed were granted a protection visa, mostly permanent, according to figures from the Australian Parliamentary Library.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Internal Department of Home Affairs figures from November 2017, show that more than 10,000 of the 32,250 unresolved <b>boat</b> arrivals have been granted a temporary protection visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">(The time periods here overlap because of financial year statistics.) Some 15,000 remained unresolved, including from Iran (5800), Sri Lanka (3800), stateless (2200), Afghanistan (1800), Pakistan (1100), Iraq (800) and Vietnam (400).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of the remainder, 1700 are on appeal to the Immigration Assessment Authority, while 3600 have been refused and are likely to have appealed to the federal courts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Appeals to those courts in Melbourne face a three-year backlog. On current trends, that means about 38,000 migrants who came by <b>boat</b> will eventually stay here permanently.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The purpose of the Sri Lankans coming to Australia by <b>boat</b> was for economic reasons. Many were fishermen from the west coast, which was unaffected by the civil war that ended in 2009.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The people of Iran have suffered from international sanctions, their currency has collapsed and their future prospects are bleak.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Iranians have, in their thousands, sought out well-meaning but naive Christians to help them stay in Australia. They have attended churches and undergone fake baptisms, in an attempt to convince churchgoers and decision-makers that as “Christians”, they would be persecuted in Iran. Others pretend to be homosexual. Even after exhausting all appeals, we cannot remove them because Iran does not accept forced returnees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Afghan applicants have been living safely in Pakistan or Kabul for decades, with their own schools, houses and businesses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As for the Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Vietnamese and Iraqis, apart from a handful of Christians and minorities, they can live safely in their respective countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those who claim to be “stateless” turn out to have a nationality, on closer inspection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The current rate of acceptance of the most recent <b>boat</b> arrivals is 60 per cent. A more realistic rate of acceptance is 2 per cent, after giving the benefit of the doubt. Instead of up to 38,000 visa grants, it should be more like 900.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The migrants arriving by <b>boat</b> are supported by advocates within the community. None of these groups has credible first-hand experience in how the system has failed or is being manipulated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The migrants arriving by <b>boat</b> have significant levels of fraud in claims, identity, employment history, residence and family composition. In many cases we have no idea who they are.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The high level of visa grants is a result of the failures in the system and not the strength of claims.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, <b>boat</b> arrivals have access to government-funded migration agents/lawyers who are sympathetic and assist them to enhance their claims.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, immigration officers conducting protection visa interviews lack training. Few know how to conduct interviews and assess credibility. One officer just read back the claims, one by one, and asked if they were true. Few follow up issues or identify enhanced claims. The primary-stage decision-making does not withstand objective scrutiny.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Third, lawyers worked out that by applicants making up to 20 claims, however false or implausible, the case becomes very complex. This made the case very difficult to assess and refuse.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fourth, if all the numerous claims are all dealt with, the tribunal member or IAA officer will not meet their annual target because they will take more time than allowed by the management.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All these factors, perhaps a “perfect storm”, have combined to create high levels of visa grants for migrants arriving by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Everyone agrees we should assist refugees who are in need of Australia’s protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, the processing of migrants who arrived by <b>boat</b> between 2008-2013 has exposed the failure of the <b>refugee</b> legal system, instead offering residence to migrants who are not refugees.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A lethal return to people smuggling boats on the cards as activists force Labor’s hand</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government’s military-led border protection program, Operation Sovereign Borders, is under attack as Labor lurches left and <b>refugee</b> activists gain ground. Labor leader Bill Shorten has indicated the party will review its commitment to offshore detention at the ALP national conference in July. If given the opportunity, the far left will restore the lethal trade in people-smuggling by welcoming illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals and moving offshore processing centres on to Australian soil. The policy ­reversal would appease the green-left and accelerate the ALP’s ­retreat from the political centre.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor has a few roos loose in the top paddock and they’re hopping mad about sovereign borders. The left faction has proposed an end to offshore processing and <b>boat</b> turnbacks. New MPs include Ged Kearney and Ali France, the ALP’s pick to stand against Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton in the Queensland seat of Dickson. While Kearney espouses standard Labor left beliefs about migration, France goes low to attack political opponents. She described sup­porters of offshore immigration processing as hypocrites. In ­December, she questioned the Christian faith of Liberal MPs who defend secure border policy. The Courier Mail reported that on <span class="companylink">Twitter</span>, France re-posted comments from a user “who suggested cutting off power and water to Mr Dutton’s house”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The normalisation of incitement to harm conservatives or damage property presents a problem for liberal democracy. The ­culture of harm tolerance is cultivated by those who falsely equate conservative views and the exercise of liberal democratic principles with violence. Shorten and Greens leader Richard Di Natale claimed that if the government kept its election commitment to holding a plebiscite on same-sex marriage, gay youth would take their own lives. Politicians and human rights activists also equate free speech with physical harm to defend censorship of dissenting views under section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act. Green-left activists state that Operation Sovereign Borders causes physical harm, but have not produced ­research to demonstrate such a causal relationship. Much harm could be ­attributed to experiences before arrival.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The far left’s conflation of ­secure border policy and physical harm serves another purpose. Whether intentional or not, it ­creates a political justification for <b>asylum</b> activists to cause damage to property or dissenters. The idea of politically correct harm is ­accepted in some activist circles. But greater problems will arise if it becomes mainstream.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In court last week, members of the Whistleblowers, Activists and Citizens Alliance were cleared of intentionally damaging commonwealth property after gluing their hands to a balustrade in Parliament House. Federal prosecutors alleged the <b>refugee</b> activists glued their hands to the leather balustrade with the intent of damaging property. After a short deliberation, the jury cleared the activists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2016, magistrate Trevor Morgan encouraged Young Labor activists after they climbed on to the roof of Peter Dutton’s office with a banner smearing him as an “international criminal”. The Courier Mail reported that ­Morgan said: “If one of my daughters was caught doing like you did, I’d probably be very proud of her.” Protests are a vital part of liberal democracy but causing damage or the misuse of emergency services is another matter. The Queensland protest wasted an ­estimated $10,000 in police ­resources. What is the cost of <b>refugee</b> activism to struggling Australian taxpayers? We haven’t given our consent for activists to damage property and waste emergency service resources. No one voted for them in an election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unsurprisingly, activists are taking the courts’ leniency as a green light for further action. The Advocate reported that WACA member Jason Ray said he would repeat the “super glue tactic” while Philip Evans reportedly said breaking the law was an “individual decision”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a liberal democracy, the law exists to preserve public order and prevent the use of militant methods for political ends. In the Western tradition, public reason is the vehicle for political reform. To permit harm for political ends is to ­invite the demise of liberal democracy. The alternative, illiberal democracy, is empowered by activist networks, lawyers and politicians who use militancy to impose ideology that people reject in democratic processes such as general elections and parliamentary debate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australians voted for secure border policy when they chose the Liberal-Nationals Coalition to govern the ­nation. The government broke the people smugglers’ business model by implementing the objectives of Operation Sovereign Borders. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull highlighted the financial and human costs of Labor’s relatively weak border ­policy. It cost more than $10 billion for Australia to manage the 50,000 unlawful ­arrivals and left more than 14,000 refugees languishing in <span class="companylink">UN</span> camps. Speaking to the ABC in late 2016, Turnbull said: “We’ve been able to … stop the boats — no deaths at sea. We’ve closed 17 detention centres ... we reduced children in detention from almost 2000 when we came in office to zero.” Despite those 1200 people dying at sea under Labor, activists claiming to represent refugees’ interests want to revive a regressive border regime that rewards people smugglers. To gain popular support for the people-smuggling model, <b>asylum</b> activists bury the body count it yields. To prevent backlash against weak borders, they conceal the widespread harm caused by the principle of quantity over quality in immigration and <b>asylum</b> programs. By way of ­example, the Police Federation warned that magistrates were giving lenient sentences to foreign-born offenders to prevent them being deported. Despite the reported judicial interference, the government has deported about 3000 foreign criminals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor is moving to the wrong side of history by compromising national security for people smugglers and <b>asylum</b> activists. The ALP might maintain <b>boat</b> turnbacks, but will double the number of <b>asylum</b> seekers and send more Australian money to the UN.The Liberal-Nationals Coalition government is renewing its commitment to Australian sovereignty by crafting ­immigration and border security policies with the national interest in mind. Labor has yet to demonstrate how weakening border policy would serve the interest of Australians. The Australian government exists to serve the Australian people. Sometimes the obvious eludes the bleeding hearts.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last week a government led by Mr Harbourside Mansion dished out another round of punishment to fellow Australians whose crime was to be unemployed or to have split with their partner while having dependent children, making it hard for them to do paid work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The money to be saved will go just the tiniest way towards paying for tax cuts for big business. Did the rest of us care? Not really.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But let's not kid ourselves. If governments thought mistreating <b>asylum</b> seekers and being unreasonable to welfare recipients would lose them votes, they wouldn't do it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They do it because they believe most voters want them to punish <b>boat</b> people and supposed dole bludgers. Which also explains why both sides of politics are guilty of it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lovely people, Australians. (And don't imagine the rest of the world isn't realising how unlovely we are.)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But stoop to tampering with a cricket ball? We'd never do something so utterly despicable. A player could have been injured. Don't forget cricketers have money at stake when they decide whether to ease the path to victory with the help of a little sticky tape.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nor should we imagine they're the only Aussies yielding to the temptation to bend the rules in pursuit of a bigger bonus. What do you think the royal commission into banking misconduct is about?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I fear we hear about only a fraction of the national franchises than screw their franchisees, who then screw the kids working for them; the many employers paying less than award wages, including those ripping off people on temporary work visas who're afraid to complain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They do so because they've lost any sense of fairness towards their workers - and because they're (rightly) confident their chances of being caught are low. Governments - Coalition and Labor - have been cutting the number of inspectors and auditors in the name of greater public service efficiency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We've become less God-fearing, more individualistic, more materialistic and more self-centred. We've become less community-minded, less committed to "solidarity" - where the strong go easy so as to help the poor do better - and less sympathetic to the battling of the battlers (except when we kid ourselves that we are battlers).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We've changed the meaning of "professional" to being highly competent in your occupation, whereas it used to mean putting your clients' interests ahead of your own.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Politics has degenerated into an unending battle between interest groups, in which each seeks advantage at the expense of the rest. Much of the fighting is conducted by a thriving industry of lobbyists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even the churches fight like Kilkenny cats for a bigger share of the government handouts to private schools - just so they can afford to teach their children Christian values, of course.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But don't imagine the greed is limited to businesses and institutions. Almost all of us have a mercenary attitude towards the government, paying as little tax as possible while demanding free public hospitals, subsidised pharmaceuticals, bulk-billed GP visits and much else.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How does all that add up? Not my problem. My problem is paying an investment adviser to tell me the somersaults I have to turn to get the pension and avoid paying tax on my investments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What I've found most surprising in recent days is not money-hungry cricketers but the views of a leading businessman, Harold Mitchell: "I'm an Australian and I pay tax for the good of the country."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mitchell tells of being visited by representatives of the <span class="companylink">Singapore government</span>, who invited him to move his head office there. Their advertised company tax rate was 15 per cent, but he'd get a special offer of 7 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He declined. "I believe in the Australian system that creates the sort of society that enabled me to build a successful business. Avoiding tax, even if it seems legal, is a very shortsighted ambition," he wrote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What's wrong with the man? What a corporate dinosaur. He claims to have found at least one other rich person who thinks similarly - the Scottish children's author, JK Rowling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I pay a lot of tax, and I feel one of the reasons I stay and pay and why I'm not based in Monaco ... is I think my country helped me," she's said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mitchell even quoted the American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes' dictum that "taxes are what we pay for a civilised society".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Perhaps the problem is it also works the other way: more money-grubbing, rule-bending and tax avoiding are part of a society that's becoming less civilised.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After years of fantasy parts, Phoebe Tonkin has landed the role with a social conscience she always wanted, and which brought her home. She talks with Cosima Marriner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I t was New Year’s Day last year, when actress Phoebe Tonkin set herself a very specific career goal. “I wanted to work in Australia on a project with a social conscience, and with extreme beauty maestro [director] Glendyn Ivin.”</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just a few months later, at 5am in Paris, a very jet-lagged Phoebe answered the phone to hear she’d booked a lead role in Safe Harbour, the new <span class="companylink">SBS</span> drama about <b>asylum</b> seekers directed by Ivin. It was a job that “perfectly encompassed” that New Year ambition. “Manifest away my friends, and don’t be ashamed to dream, there’s still some witch left in all of us,” the 28-year-old told her 4½ million <span class="companylink">Instagram</span> followers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A pyschological thriller, Safe Harbour couldn’t be more different from The Originals, the American vampire series Phoebe has spent the last five years filming in Atlanta. And it’s a world away from H20: Just Add Water, the Channel Ten kids show that first brought Phoebe to the attention of audiences – and for which she’s probably still best known here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Phoebe is now counting on Safe Harbour to transform perceptions of her, so she can break out of her fantasy-character niche and firmly establish herself as a serious actor at home and abroad. “I have high hopes that this show will reintroduce me, especially into the Australian industry, as a different actress than maybe I was expected to be,” she tells me, curled up in jeans and a black cardigan in an inner-Sydney studio, her hair still damp and her face free of make-up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’ve been really dying to work in Australia for a very long time.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Safe Harbour is an expression of Phoebe’s deeper, political self – yet on the surface she appears very much an It Girl. She grew up in Mosman, on Sydney’s lower north shore, and attended exclusive all girls’ school Queenwood, swimming at Balmoral Beach across the road every morning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her mother ran the local toy store and her dad has his own travel business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her younger sister, Abby, works in finance and lives in New York.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Phoebe says the Tonkin family are “brainy and nerdy” rather than creative types, they are serious movie buffs. A childhood ritual was heading to the cinema together every Thursday night to see the latest release. “I grew up feeling like the cinema was a really special experience [but] I was kind of like the black sheep, the fact that I actually went into the industry,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Capitalising on her super-fine bone structure, pronounced pout and leggy gait, Phoebe has a well-developed side hustle as a model: she’s an ambassador for Chanel, and has starred in advertising campaigns for the likes of Aussie swimwear brand Matteau and LA denim label Frame. Yet she confesses she was self-conscious growing up. “I was shy, I was always just a little aw-w-w-kward,” she says slowly, drawing out the adjective.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’m probably still awkward.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She found a respite from these feelings in acting, joining Australian Theatre for Young People at 12, where she met a bunch of like-minded teens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Acting felt like something that was my own, it was like this secret community of other quirky kids that I could spend time with over the holidays and after school. It was this really nice escape for me.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Someone suggested to Phoebe’s mother that she get an agent, which quickly led to an audition for Home and Away. Phoebe missed out on that part, but landed the next – playing Cleo, a teenage girl who turns into a mermaid, on H20. “I didn’t have too long to decide what I was going to do for the rest of my life,” she laughs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Phoebe had just turned 16 when she she got the role and within a week she had quit school and was on set on the Gold Coast. Three seasons of H20 led to her film debut in the screen adaptation of John Marsden’s young adult novel Tomorrow, When the War Began. Phoebe then moved to LA in her early 20s to chance her luck at pilot season, and quickly scored a role in The Secret Circle, playing a young witch. She was hailed the breakout star of the show, and subsequently cast as a secret werewolf in The Vampire Diaries, before taking a lead part in its spin-off, The Originals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s fitting that a girl who claims to have “witch instincts” has spent most of her career playing supernatural characters. But as much as The Originals delivered Phoebe fame in the US, not to mention lifelong friends and a boyfriend for much of its run (co-star Paul Wesley), she started to yearn for something more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was a big chunk of my 20s and I have so many great memories, but I was definitely ready to move on to something else,” she says. “It’s been hard to do the one thing for six years.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tired of playing “the witch or the bitch”, it took Phoebe some soul searching to figure out what she wanted in her career. Watching Olivia Wilde play the mother of an abducted child in the devastating 2015 film Meadowland provided the answer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I kept saying to myself, ‘That’s what I want to do, stories about real people, stories that ask people questions about flawed characters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those are the kinds of roles I want.’ ” And then along came Safe Harbour, the story of a group of Australians on a sailing holiday to Indonesia who cross paths with a fishing <b>boat</b> overloaded with <b>asylum</b> seekers, sparking a cascade of moral dilemmas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’ve definitely been dreaming of a role like this for a few years now,” Phoebe confides. “Now that I’ve gotten it I’m much more grateful for it.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Phoebe plays Olivia, a troubled woman who is suspected of casting the <b>asylum</b> seekers adrift in the middle of the night. “This show is about decisions and the ripple effects that those decisions create. Olivia’s part in the whole situation posed a lot of questions about my own morals and ethics and I hope that her storyline does that for audiences as well.” She hopes Safe Harbour will lead to other meaningful – and preferably Australian – roles. “I definitely realised that I gravitate towards more grounded work,” she says of shooting the drama. “I thought I would be terrified because it is really different to anything I’ve been in, but the challenge was just so exhilarating.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While she calls herself a “professional Cinderella”, Phoebe is at pains to demonstrate her highly developed social conscience. Between glam red-carpet shots and acting stills on her <span class="companylink">Instagram</span> account are calls to action on issues such as gun control, #TimesUp and #blacklivesmatter.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If you’re going to use [social media] to talk about a product that you’re using or a movie that you’re promoting, then it’s equally important to use those platforms for something that’s more selfless,” she explains.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If I can get a 15-year-old girl who is enraged about a certain relationship on a vampire show and get them equally enraged about the situation with black lives and police issues in America right now, then great.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Phoebe proudly calls herself a feminist and bears the battle scars of navigating the male-dominated acting industry, with its inherent sexism and pay disparity. “It sucks to go through periods of your life where your role is literally Hot Girl No. 1 in movies – you feel like you are worthless.” But she feels positive that the tide is turning in Hollywood, with the number of projects written and directed by women increasing. “It’s really important to show women who are not just offshoots of men.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I would love to keep playing roles that challenge stereotypes of women, that educate the audience a little bit.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite her A-list existence (her good friends include Teresa Palmer and Lara Worthington), Phoebe retains some of her childish shyness and reserve. Asked about her love life she visibly squirms and says “I don’t really want to talk about that”, and is equally reticent when it comes to explaining the origin of her tattoos (one on her wrist and the other on her foot). “I got them years ago – I probably wouldn’t get any more.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She’s hesitant to discuss her flaws, but says that acting has taught her resilience, patience and independence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She finds being away from her family hard, and insists the reality of her globetrotting lifestyle is spending too many hours in airport terminals waiting for delayed flights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There are bouts of being alone and unemployed in weird countries,” she says. “I’ve had to create a bit of independence … and build up a bit of a tough skin. Any time you get close to a job and you don’t get it, I find that such a heartbreaking experience.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But thanks to Safe Harbour Phoebe is confident about her future, as she weighs up roles and contemplates making her own short film. “When we made Safe Harbour we knew we were making something special.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I’m now working out what’s next.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I would love to keep working here, I think Australian drama is unparalleled,” she says. “I feel like I set the benchmark so high with Safe Harbour that it’s hard to find anything of that quality – so yeah, high standards now!” •</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This massive upheaval of families is regarded as the greatest displacement of people since World War II and represents far more than twice the Australian population.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The sheer volume of this global crisis, and magnitude of human suffering, is beyond disturbing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>asylum</b> seeker issue is acutely political in Australia. It taps into a primal human fear of outsiders, foreigners, aliens, the unknown, the other.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nothing scares the herd like an external threat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Neither major Australian political party dares to break ranks from security-first, humanity-last policies because, come election time, it is so easy for their opponent to incite panic in the voting public.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s an appalling status quo.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Personal safety and security are concerns for all of us. When we are threatened most expect our government to defend and protect us. That means strong borders to keep the menace at bay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why are our leaders so quick to strap on a flak jacket and be seen sharing a joke with the troops? Why do they love being photographed in a bomber jacket boarding a chopper?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They want to appear strong, powerful and in charge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And so it is that here we are in Australia safe and sound. Snug as a bug in a rug — until someone like Chinese filmmaker Ai Weiwei comes along.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Weiwei spent a year filming the global <b>refugee</b> crisis as it unfolded across 23 nations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I watched his resultant documentary Human Flow at the State Cinema in North Hobart this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thankfully, I went alone and there were only two others in the audience because while I have had the occasional tear well in my eye at a sad movie I have never before wept so wholeheartedly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At first, I thought the movie a little slow because there was little by the way of narration or plot. It was just footage of families fleeing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Occasionally, a <b>refugee</b> or authority was interviewed but only briefly. The images were left to speak for themselves with an honesty and intensity that exposed the <b>asylum</b> seeker debate in Australia as a hollow sham.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For us to sit here and feel snug because we have a strong leader and impregnable borders is the height of callous disregard and the epitome of inhumanity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To suggest we incarcerate <b>asylum</b> seekers for their own safety and to deter others from fleeing by <b>boat</b> is unforgivably insincere and shamefully cruel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To witness the plight of <b>refugee</b> families in Turkey and Jordan and Germany is heart-breaking.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">TO see them as human, not pawns in a game of political chess played in pursuit of power, is potent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I am now a bleeding heart and proud of it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It took all I had to stop my mind from imagining my family, my son, in this deplorable situation where children, mothers, sisters, fathers, brothers, uncles and aunties flee for their life to seek refuge only to be hit in the face with razor wire, tear gas, hatred and vitriol.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I had to harden my heart, and distance myself from the tragedy, just to observe the movie to avoid being reduced to an embarrassing puddle of tears.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At one point, a quote from The Wagon by Iraqi poet Sherko Bekas appeared on the screen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I know we … you and I Will never meet However we proceed For we are like rail-tracks Never meeting And if we incline towards each other The wagons of the heart will overturn” We all have an obligation to see Human Flow, whatever side of the <b>asylum</b> seeker debate we sit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Because if we dare incline towards those families fleeing desperate circumstances and feel a moment of their pain, I suspect the wagons of the heart will overturn. Mine did.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Surely we here in Hobart can refit, renovate and rejuvenate unused spaces in our city and surrounds to house our local homeless and 10,000 refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Surely there is enough work on surrounding farms and local businesses in southern Tasmania for desperate <b>refugee</b> families to gain employment and invigorate our economy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How can we do it? Can we think outside the square? How can we do the right thing?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It will need investment. How can we get private and public funds invested in powering our economy and city, and do something that is emphatically right?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is a chance here to do something not only for Tasmania and the nation, but for the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I don’t have the answers. Sorry. But there’s many people far smarter than me. Let’s hear from them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Take a hanky and go see Human Flow and let’s do something about this as a community locally, here and now.We may fail, but let’s go down swinging.</p>

That is the premise for Aber Bergen: Partners in Law, which returns this week for a second season. (And if the premise sounds like the show might be a sitcom, be assured it is a serious, character-driven legal drama.) Erik (Odd-Magnus Williamson) and Elea (Ellen Dorrit Petersen) are two of Norway’s best defence lawyers, who must repeatedly put their personal differences aside to win cases. In this season, they encounter a business threatened by bankruptcy and facing multiple ethical and legal issues in its quest to stay afloat. In addition, one of Erik’s trusted employees has left the practice and now works for his biggest competitor — his father-in-law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">free-to-air filmsThere has been a terrific run of nostalgic films after Blue Planet II each week on Nine, including the Back to the Future franchise. This week, after another spellbinding hour of watching non-terrestrials, check out Spielberg’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial(Saturday, 8.10pm, Nine), starring Drew Barrymore. And for more family-friendly viewing of a more recent vintage, see the animated movie Zootopia (Saturday, 7pm Seven)(Not Vic, Tas, SA), featuring the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba and Alan Tudyk. Shakira lends her vocals to the theme song Try Everything — a real earworm. And the scene featuring the sloths working at the motor registry is the sort of image likely to pop into your mind in all kinds of retail or bureaucratic situations. As much as a community service announcement as anything, The Dead Pool (Monday, 9pm, 7Mate) is not the 2016 Marvel film starring a violent and foul-mouthed character played by Ryan Reynolds. It is in fact the fifth and final Dirty Harry film starring Clint Eastwood, released in 1988. It is credited with popularising a phrase beloved by critics everywhere: “Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.” Far less crude than the Marvel film, it must be said.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thousands of families are trapped and unwanted THE visit of Aung San Suu Kyi to Sydney for the Australia-ASEAN meeting and Peter Dutton’s decision to welcome South African farmers rather than stateless people driven off their land has highlighted the tragedy of the Muslim Rohingya people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When the British constructed the borders of Burma, India and East Pakistan (which became Bangladesh in 1971), the Rohingya people were like so many others in this part of Asia, essentially a minority on the wrong side of boundaries drawn up by European colonial powers.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Rohingya have lived in what became Burma since the 15th century, but since then have been the victims of border shifts and now ethnic and nationalist chauvinism. The British had conquered Burma in the 19th century but when the new country was proclaimed in 1948, the Buddhist majority lived in the central plain, while around the edge were non-Burmese Christian, Muslim and animist peoples (officially Burma has 135 ethnic groups), many of whom wanted independence. Among them, in the coastal state of Arakan, were the Rohingya, who had earlier fled to Bengal then were encouraged to move back by the British who saw the area as fertile but depopulated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After independence, the Burmese military seized power in 1962 and have waged war against the ethnic minorities ever since. They called for Burma for the Burmese and reinvented themselves as the State Law and Order Council. They changed the country’s name to Myanmar in 1989 and encouraged violence against the Rohingya, insisting they were Bengalis and not citizens of Myanmar. Many of the Rohingya have been driven out with thousands killed or made homeless. The regime banned the use of the word Rohingya and said they had to be registered as Bengalis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While many Rohingya fled across the land border to Bangladesh, others tried to escape by <b>boat</b>. Many drowned or were pushed back to sea. Some made it to Australian waters only to be detained offshore. About 80 of the Rohingya are still on Nauru and about the same on Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those who have escaped from the latest wave of violence this year are jammed across the border in Bangladesh where it is estimated 700,000 people are camped in what is probably the world’s largest <b>refugee</b> camp. Most live in flimsy shelters and are at the mercy of the approaching monsoon season.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While there are calls for repatriation to relieve the pressure, authorities in Myanmar have made it clear they don’t want the Rohingya back while in Bangladesh, the most densely populated country in Asia, with 162 million people in an area just over twice the size of Tasmania, there are obvious reservations about another million people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The plight of the Rohingya was skated around at the summit in Sydney attended by Myanmar’s State Counsellor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. As her now-deceased husband was British, she had been banned from becoming President after her National League for Democracy won the 2015 election. She disappointed many former admirers by appearing to side with the military and Buddhist nationalists led by radical monks and the Organisation for Race and Religion, refusing to acknowledge the killings, gang rapes and destruction of villages and homes as ethnic cleansing. She refuses to use the word Rohingya and pulls out of public appearances where she might be challenged.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Given the status of the Rohingya as the world’s most persecuted minority, one can only speculate why Peter Dutton feels able to offer the welcome mat to white South African farmers but locks up the Rohingya who are never to be allowed to settle here.Peter Jones is a teacher of comparative religion and modern history and has travelled extensively in Asia, including Burma and Bangladesh. He works with the local Amnesty <b>Refugee</b> Rights Committee.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Attitude trumps size in this mighty modern Asian restaurant.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chef Thi Le wanted to own her own restaurant by the time she was 35. She opened the doors to Anchovy, in Melbourne's Richmond, on her 30th birthday, so she's way ahead of schedule.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Much like Lee Ho Fook's Victor Liong, Thi Le grew up in Sydney's western suburbs. "But," she pauses. "I'm probably a bit more ghetto than Victor."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Le grew up in Doonside, a suburb of Blacktown, in Sydney's outer west. At the time, they were the only Vietnamese family in the area, which was mostly populated by Lebanese and Turkish families. In fact, most people thought they ran Eastern Phoenix, the local Chinese restaurant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She describes her childhood as rough, and as a teenager she was a troublemaker. But she didn't exactly have an easy start.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her mother, a <b>refugee</b> from the Vietnam War, escaped the country by <b>boat</b> to Malaysia with her husband and Le's two older sisters. Le was born in a Malaysian <b>refugee</b> camp, spending her first two years there before migrating to Australia. She has no memory of that time, only photographs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Their father made his way to Australia first. When he arrived, he met another woman and quietly remarried. "Mum found out when she got over here. She's pretty strong-willed; she was like, 'See you later'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her mother found another partner, and gave Le another sister. She describes her stepfather as controlling, abusive and strict. He beat the girls so badly, they'd have to lie when they went to the doctor with their injuries, which included cracked skulls. Her older sister tried to run away from home. Eventually, Le's mother left, and ended up raising four girls by herself with little money and no English.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a tough childhood, and strictly Catholic on top of that. And the fact that Le was gay didn't help. "[My mother] used to pray to Jesus every day," says Le, who had a girlfriend all through high school. "But she's all for it now, so it's good - she stopped praying.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I was quite religious when I was young. I was like, if Jesus made us, why did he make people gay? I couldn't understand the actual concept of that. So I read the Bible back to front and nothing says you can't be gay. It just says, 'Don't commit adultery.' And I kind of went 'OK, I'm not going to church ever again'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She was 17 when she visited Vietnam for the first time and spoke to her uncles about her mother's part in the war. "Going over there really woke me up," she says. "During the Vietnam War she helped a lot of people flee Vietnam, and she was up for execution. [People in] the village where she's from hid her in rice barrels. She was working for the <span class="companylink">US government</span> as well."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After finishing high school, Le moved into a Redfern share house with no real plans. "All I wanted to do was get as far from Doonside as possible."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She enrolled in design school, met her partner at the time and decided to do some travelling through Europe. "We were going overseas to look at architecture, but that didn't really happen. I was more interested in the old ladies and their little food stories."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was while she was staying with her partner's aunt in Leeds, in northern England, that she started thinking seriously about cooking. When she got back to Sydney, she put herself through TAFE, then went to work for Anthony Redondi at Aqua Dining in Milsons Point, on Sydney's North Shore.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even as a junior chef Le was hot property. After taking part in a mentor program that Christine Manfield was running, the chef-restaurateur poached Le to work at her celebrated Darlinghurst restaurant, Universal. "It was like a family. We joked around, we hung out after work. When you're surrounded by people who want to be there, [the work] no longer becomes hard."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Le says Manfield mothered her "in a tough love kind of way", but also schooled her in the ingredients she'd pick up on her travels around the world. "She'd get really excited: 'Try this, try this, try this. What do you guys think?' So, there was a lot of input, just talking about how you felt about things. Anthony and Chris both really nurture their chefs and teach you to work collectively rather than individually."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She'd been working with Manfield for a couple of years when Andrew McConnell held the Sydney launch of his first book, Cumulus Inc., at Universal in 2011. Meeting him shifted Le's ideas about cooking and food. "There were so many things that went into all Christine's dishes, and here came this guy from Melbourne who did four elements on the plate and it was just as good. I was blown away by his simplicity."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So it was that Le, broken-hearted from a recent separation and in need of a change of scenery, found herself working at Cumulus Inc. in Melbourne, where she met her now girlfriend and business partner, Jia-Yen Lee.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Together, in 2015, they opened Anchovy in Richmond. Having never run her own kitchen, it was uncharted territory. "I said to my partner, 'I'm not ready. I need to go do chef things.' And she said to me, 'You'll spend the rest of your life learning. I don't know what the difference between now and five years is, because as a chef you never stop learning'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The tiny but mighty modern Asian restaurant was created on the smell of an oily rag. The entire fitout cost less than $100,000, with much of the cooking equipment coming straight from Le's home kitchen. "I have a good friend who said to me at the time, 'Thi, it's your first restaurant. I'm sure there'll be many more to come, so don't let your ego get in the way'. We only had two pots, one pan, a couple of pizza trays. Barely anything."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To date, they've doubled their staff, secured a hat in the Good Food Guide, and managed to create a restaurant that even Le's mum likes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I find a lot of Asian kids want to take their parents out somewhere nice to eat, and then the parents get there and they get quite upset because the dishes aren't flavourful enough or there's not enough chilli. They always pick at something.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"So I was like 'all right, I'm going to create a restaurant where Mum can sit in there and not say a single word'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Quickfire corner</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Music to cook to: '90s R&B. I was listening to Ne-Yo the other day, deboning 140 quails.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After-midnight snack: I tend to make a salad or two-minute noodles for my partner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kitchen weapon at work: Mortar and pestle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Formative food moment: I was about eight years old, and Mum had made beef tartare. I think I ate two plates. It was just so good.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Non-cooking ninja skill: Ican kill any karaoke song. I'm such a bad singer. I can makethe whole room go, "Oh shut up, Thi."</p>

A town where you can leave work to pick up the kids from school and it takes five minutes because we have one traffic light. A place where the "Buy Swap Sell" pages in the local newspaper are equal parts items for sale and posts asking: "Anyone know who owns this?" My favourite so far being a runaway bull on the golf course.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's a town that rises early, a town of farmers beating the dawn, businesses opening their workshops and shift workers going to or coming from the power station, nitrate plant, meat works or perhaps one of the mines. A town that quietly goes about its business. That is until early Monday morning two weeks ago when Border Protection officials arrived just as our day shift workers were getting ready to head off and took two of our residents, Nades and Priya and their daughters, from their home and our community.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nades was getting ready to go to work at the meat works while his wife Priya was heating a bottle for their nine-month-old Australian-born daughter. Juggling the morning as mothers do, having a two-year-old as well.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Before most of us had made our morning coffee, they were gone. On a plane to a detention centre in Melbourne. Ready to be deported.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nades has worked at our meat works for the past four years. The meat works is a vital industry in our town. It has struggled with labour and relies heavily on migrant and <b>refugee</b> workers. We desperately need these workers because as noted by the meat works general manager: "If we didn't have foreign workers here I don't know how we would man the plant, we can't operate without a workforce."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nades and Priya arrived separately in Australia by <b>boat</b> back in 2012 and 2103. They arrived as Tamil refugees seeking <b>asylum</b> in the aftermath of Sri Lanka's civil war. They were married in 2014 and have since had two beautiful daughters, born here in Australia. They are a part of our community. Nades volunteering down at our local Vinnies when he first arrived. Priya cooking her curries for the doctors at our hospital. Both insisting on having other meat workers join them for meals to show how grateful they were for work and sanctuary in Australia. The government says their visas have expired and they don't deserve protection. We hope the Minister for Home Affairs, Peter Dutton, will intervene.</p>
